Dear Artie;

When I returned from St. Louis, Tuesday night I received
a wire from our Minneapolis Office stating that =
superintendent was planning to come to Springfield, Friday
morning with some Government men, and it was important
that I be here.

I immediately got busy to see if something couldn't be worked
out whereby they coul eee this visit until Mondey.
I worked on this all Wednesday morning, ard thepe was
shine that I could poe aey do as these Government
ad to be here sometime this week as they had made
other plans for next week. rege

 
 

I thoucht I could make plane connections so as to get
back to Springfield by Priday morning, but found that
there was no possible way that I could be in Omaha,
Thursday night and be here in Sprinzfield, Priday morning.
I had been looking forward to working this particular
game, and I)was very disappointed that I had to send

such a wire.

I sincerely hope that you were able to make satisfactory
arrancements, and got someone agreeable to both teams.

If you were put to any additional expense let me know.

Kind personal recards.

Very truly yours,
