Deax Dong

I came up to the office to dictate sone letters tonight and the
most important one et the present is this one to you and Mrs. Peetes

I mow you thought it was queer when you saw us in Kansas City
Saturday night and we had said nothing to you about our comings These
are the facts: |

: Ernie Quigley called me Thursday morning and wanted to lmow if

I would honor the Tournament by our presence Saturday eveninge I had
promised Dre Jessen of peabody that I would drive to Newton on Friday night .
to see Hoyt Baker, one of his Peabody protegees, play in the Newton Tournamente
He wanted me to stay over Saturday night and see Newton and Hutchinson playe

I half wey promised him that I would do soe But when I got this call from
Quigley I surmised that CeE. McBride or some of my good friends had asked
Quigley to call and I thought perhaps I had better accept the invitations

“He also invited Milton, Bobby and their datese So Mrs. Allen and
6 girls dow to Nances for dimmers I, of course, had
not expected to come back from Newton, but under the conditions I felt that

had to get tack under the closing hour, beeause she lives at a sorority house,
and we had to leaves .

I will not be in Kansas City for the pleyoff between Creighton and
Iowe. State as I had promised to speak at a Board of rducationeTeacher banquet
in Ottawae However, I will plan on being with you people on Friday and
Saturday nightse Saturday night the Bannons are plamning to have us to dinner
and I will arrange for the tickets, But I will get in touch with you before
thene I am merely writing to tell you that we will not be in Kansas City

We are still going to have that good vis I hope it will be this
weekends I doubt, however, that Mrs. Allen will be with us rriday evening, but |
we are planning to have dinner with the Peete's and the Bamon's at the Kansas City
Club and go to the game on Saturday night, |

With all good wishes, I am,

E
