Dear Mr. Allens

I regret very much, the fact that I
will be unable to attend your basketbell work-
out on Saturday, April 18th.

I am sure thet I would really enjoy
it, as well as profit by the experience of meet-
ing some of the outstanding High School athletics
throughout the state. However, circumstances are
such that it will be impossible for me to get
away from my work on Saturday, because of the
shortage of help and that also being the busiest
day of the week.

Thanking you very much for your very
kind invitation, I am

a truly,
a thach
