Dear Cliff:

I know how many assignments you have and how much
time of yours is taken up with outside activities. But
President Wilbur Reese has appointed me to serve as chairman
of the Tournament Committee for next year. I am asking some
of the key men who have had much to do with the Tournament
to serve on our Committee. With you I will ask Earl Ferris
and Glenn Charlton.

We would appreciate it if you could serve because
you have had wide experience in committee work and, with
your travels over the United States, you should have come in
contact with novel and interesting tournament participation.
For that reason we trust you will accept a place on this
Committee.

Please advise me of your acceptance. I will
appreciate it.

Sincerely yours,

Dear President Reese:

I am returning to you the new draft of the By-Laws
of the Lawrence Country Clube

I have read these provisions over three or four tines
and I am passing them along with my olmy as a member of the
Boarde

I feel as if you and Meserse Hesso, Galloway and Wetzel
are in an excellent position to eliminate the bugs and inject the
necessary serum into this animal to meke it a throbbing enatomical
specimen of efficiency and good lookse

I have also studied further the outstanding indebtedness,
and I feel confident that a committee appointed to study this will
do a good job when it comes to a recommendations

I will make some plans and submit them to you for the
Greeters Group in the hope we ean et least improve the rigor mortis
of some of the alleged stiffs that they call human beingse

Very cordially yours,

Director of Physical Education and Recreat! on
