I know that if you were to book one of these teams for a ome night stand at your playing field the expense would be any- where from $1500 to 2500dollars for the cost of the visiting team. I am arranging a ten game schedule on the road for some of these Eastern colleges so that it will be possible for me to brhng them into your city for a few hundred dollars. Exact dates will be available in a number of weeks. At the present time I would like to get your reaction and also if you would be intrested in booking these teams for the coming season, Awaiting your early reply. Very ey nny mo ML: LW
