Dear Dr. Allen:

Excelsior Springs, Missouri and the Elms Hotel cordially invite you
and the members of the National Association of Basketball Coaches of the
United States to hold your 1940 meeting in March with us. Our location
and fine facilities make this an ideal place for your conference.

The Elms is an unusuel hotel in which to hold your convention and the
best of accommodations will be at your disposal. Everyone will be under
one roof and the maximum attendance will be attained et business sessions.
Work is always easily accomplished with no distractions and there is a
personal exchange of ideas made possible in a natural way . because of the
close associations and fellowship that will be derived from your meeting.

For recreation and sport, we have a chempionship, eighteen-hole golf
course, horseback riding, and swimming in the mineral water pool at the
Hall of Waters. The mineral waters and baths, for which Excelsior Springs
is world-famous are located right in the hotel, and convention guests like
them so well they often stey after meetings are over to further en joy
themselves. .

We shall appreciate a great deal having your honest opinion as to
whether or not you believe that your meeting could be conducted successfully
and enjoyably at Excelsior Springs.

Thank you.
