September 4, 1944.

Mr. Wn. V. Bryan,
Decatur, Indiana.

 

I have checked the train connections out of Lawrence, |
Kansas, and find that the pullman and railroad fare first —~
class is around $50.00, I also find that the train
connections out of Fort Wayne are bad. If I would leave
Lawrenee at 6:50 pem. and arrive in Chicago at 7:30 the
next morning, I could lsave Chicago on the Pennsylvania at
9:50 and get into Fort Wayne at 12:20 noon.

_ Since Decatur is twenty miles from Fort Wayne and train
service is bad, I am afraid that a speaker could not arrive
in time for the afternoon meeting wmless he could be met by
@& oar. a

I went to thank you for offering me the speaking date,

but feel that hotel and meal expense would take up practically
the entire allottment. I+ is nice of you to ask me.

Sincerely yours,

Director of Physical Education,
FCA: AH Varsity Basketball Coach.
