Dear Mre Lails

I have just checked up on the mileage
to Chillicothe and find it is 152 miles one way, which
means a drive of about 3 hours.

Since it will be necessary for me to
get back in time to practice my Varsity Basketball
Team, I am afraid I will not be able to stay for
the luncheons

I regret that Iwill not be able toe
attend the luncheon and trust I have caused you
ro great inconveniences

_ ‘With best wishes, I am,

Sincerely yours,’
