Dear Mr. Estes:

I regret exceedingly that I have previously accepted
an invitation to speak ‘at the banquet of the Shawnee-Mission High
School basketball team on March @, in Kansas City, Kansas.

Nothing would give me more pleasure than to address
your Rotary Club. They have me up as one of the candidates for
governor of Distrint 7125, so it would be a delight to be with you.
It would give me an added pleasure, of course, to meet the fing
Hutchinson basketball team and their coach.

We have our Rotaryanmn party on the evening of t
26th, and on the 27th Se ee in Kansas City at Casey Stengel
coming-out party as the new manager of the Kansas City Blues, and
on the 28th I am to be at Effingham, Kansas, at a banquet, and so
it goes. On April 2 and 3 I have engagements, and on the 6th I
speak at the Kansas City, Kansas, high school.

Perhaps next year I might imow a little further in
advance, as I assure you I would be navEY to visit Hutchinson and
meot your fine a

Thanking you, I am

Rotarily yours,

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