Dear Doctor Allen:

Col. Harvey Miller of Washington, D.C., and Mr. Joyner of Winston-Salem
have furnished us a list of those expected to attend the Winston-Salem meeting
as above, instructing that we advise all concerned as to the direct rail service.
We have also been in touch with Mr. Joe Triner of Chicago who will use through
Phllman from Chicago, occupying bedroom.

For your information, the Norfolk and Western Railway is the most direct
line from the Midwest to Winston-Salem, operating through Pullman sleeper daily
from Cincinnati leaving 10:15 PM on new modern deluxe train "The Pocahontas"
arriving Winston-Salem next afternoon 2:00 PM, This sleeper has lower and upper
berths as well as private bedrooms to be occupied by one or two people. Return
sleeper leaves Winston-Salem 3:00 PM arriving Cincinnati early in morning. You
can purchase round trip tickets to Winston-Salem at a saving in cost.

We have informed Mr, Triner and others that we will be glad to operate
this Pullman sleeper or extra Pullmen sleepers through from Chicago on September
6th or 7th or date desired if we have as many as 12 desiring space through. This
sleeper would leave Chicago 12:50 PM Central Time via Pennsylvania RR., arriving
Cincinnati 8:15 PM, to pickup others at that point.

For reservations or other detail information, kindly advise this office
soon as possible.
