Dear Friend:
And I mean FRIEND:

Please accept my thanks for your very genuine
interest in the "Stadium-Debt Plan" as evidenced by your
attendance at the meeting here in Robinson Gymnasium last
Saturday morning.

From every angle I am receiving most enthusiastic
revorts about the acceptance of the plan and I am quite sure that
we will be rid of that "Strangle-hold" on our efforts before very
many more moons.

I am sure you can visualize what a nest-egg we might
have, to further several progressive plans, if we could salt away,
for our own use, just the item of interest per annum, ($5,250.00),
instead of having to vay out that item each year.

As I have told you, the obligation is now as of the
current date, $113,000.00: $5,000.00 is to be paid each year
until 1948, December lst, then the remainder of the principal,
$93,000.00 is due.

It will only take 1,527 $100.00 "F" Bond purchasers
to clean the slate. The bonds must be "F" bonds--inscribed in
the name of “The Kansas University Endowment Association", which
is a corporation. This procedure enables the donor to deduct
the amount of these "F" bonds purchased from his/her gross
income for income tax purposes.

From time to time there will be items of information
sent to you from this office, and if there is any feature of this
plan that you would want discussed further, please feel free to
contact me either by mail, Western Union, or ‘phone: My office
number is K.U. 82: If by Western Union, wire “Collect": If by
long distance--reverse the charges.

Again Thanks a million.
Cordially,

EC Cay
