Mr. Clyde Beker o =2- March 12, 1946

I am enclosing a cheek for $20.00 which Don UJhlenhop sent.
He wants 6 $2.00 tickets, so deduct the price for a special delivery
letter and the $12.00 for the tickets and enclose his balance with
the tickets. Iam endorsing the check so that you can handle it there.

Dre Pe Je O'Connell will call at the box office for his 20
loges seats. ‘ : | ,

I have three other requests that I will appreciate your handle
ing along with these. Mr. Lute Northrup of the Northrup Lumber Company
in Iola, Kansas, wants 4 $2.00 seats and he is writing you, enclosing his
ehecke Mr. Northrup is one of our 32nd degree athletic fans and a very
wealthy and loyal alumnus of Iola.

-Mre Ce De MeKnught, one of Wendell Wilkie's righthand men and
a high executive in the Santa Fe @ffice Building at Topeka, Kansas, wants
10 $2.00 seats. He is also sending you his check with a self-addressed
envelope. I will thank you for taking care of these.

_ Lt. Paul A. Hardman, a Kansas football player who has just

_ returned from service and has not been detached from Fort Leavenworth
yet, phoned me for 10 $2.00 tickets. Iwill thank you if you will make
this reservation and he will call at the box office in Kansas City
before the week end. : 2

Bake, I am trying to put the soft pedal on everyone of these
calls thet come into me, but some of them I simply cannot turn down be- |
cause they know that I handled this tournament once and they still think
that Ican do the impossible. I will protect you from annoyances in
every possible way, I assure you.

I do appreciate your wholehearted and kindly cooperation.

Sincerely, |
