Dear Doctor Allen:

I understand that you will have four basket ball teams from
various Universities here for national competition
next week-end and we would like very much to enter-
tain these teams at Hotel Commonwealth.

Of course you know we are just one block from the Auditorium
and have very comfortable and ample facilities here
to accommodate the teams. I had the pleasure of
meeting you last fall when I was Executive Assistant
Manager at Hotel Continental and I would appreciate
the opportunity of serving you here at the Hotel
Commonwealth.

I assumed management of the Commonwealth on December 1 and
have remodeled and redecorated the coffee shop and
completely redecorated fifty rooms so far and have
given all the rest a thorough cleaning. I believe
that we now have one of the nicest hotels in town
and, I am sure, offer the best values in rooms and
meals.

By putting four men in a room with two double beds and bath,
we can take care of your teams at a special rate of
$1.00 per man and would be pleased to serve them
three excellent meals per day for $1.35, making a
total cost per man, room and meals, of $2.35.

I am sure the teams would enjoy the convenience, comfort and
hospitality here at the Commonwealth and if you favor
us with your nice business, I will give it my personal
attention and see that everything possible is done for
your interests.

Dr. Forest C. Allen Cordially your
