Dear Phog: Wonder if you would do Jimmy Nixon an
myself a favor, His position at the Auditorium is at stake
and so Landon Laird and myself are getting together some
evidence to show Nixon has been competent,

I understand you liked his work on your Kasekax Msket ball
tournament since he says he received a flattering letter from
youe Can you write me a letter expressing your views of Nixon
insofar as he conducted himself in his relations with you during
that tournament,

We will need these letters immediat ely.

Best regards,

G
