Dear itr. Bates:

: While at the District Conference meeting at
Topeka yesterday, Mr. R. I. Throckmorton, your presi~
dent, told me of the honer roll for service men that
you hed compiled. |

I would appreciate 1t very much if you will
write me telling me how you developed your work in
this very laudable enterprise. I was much impressed
with the value that could come from such a fine pro~
ject.

I spoke to Mr. Throckmorton about it and he said
that he was sure you would be gled to explain the modus
operandi to me. I am sure thet you can save me many

hours work and I assure you I will appreciate your prompt

reply. |

Very sincerely yours,
