I very much hope you can do this because with Saint under the weather and Commencement coming along, together with the necessity of my making a trip to Wisconsin,ahead of the meeting which I hope they will hold in Chicago along about June 16 or 17 (I mean the conference between the Executive Committee of the NeC.sAeAe and our Basketball Tournament Committee) - all of this means I am going to be in pretty much of a stew from now on and it would help a lot if you could have this report in my hands by Jume 6. If it should be that you find yourself uneble to close up all the matters with respect to the program, ad- vertising, etc., why not make the report complete with that exception? I am glad to tell you that Saint has been improving now for the last five days and we all feel very much better about his conditions He has had a pretty tough go of it though and will probably be under the necessity of having a rather long, slow convalescence after what he has been throughe Please let me lmow if I can count on hearing from you by June 6~ Kindest regards.
