October 6, 1941. — My. Gwinn Henry, Director of Athletics, University of Kansas. Dear Gwinn: Dr. Kirkpatrick and Bal Jeffrey asked mo on very short notice to come to Topeka for a conference with them on September 23 regarding an athletic situation they wished to discuss. : I came downstairs from a class at 10:30 and learned that they wanted me to teke luncheon with them at noone I had time to jump in my car and make the connections. Had I mown this ehead of time I would have seen you and gotten permission, but as it was I barely had time to get out of Lawr~ ence and get up there. I paid for their luncheon and mine. The amount was $1.88. I drove my ow car and the mileage was 60 miles. | All of this is occasioned by the fact that Karl - Eleog wrote me that it would be necessary in all expenditures of over $1.00 with the exception of tips, to get receipts therefor. iI acknowledged his letter telling him that I would be very happy to conform with the regulations but thet I had previously made one trip to Topeka for which it would be in- possible to get receipts because I had already spent the moneys I am sending you a copy of the letter that Mr. Kloc wrote me and this will be an oxplenation of why I have written you on this item of expense which came under unusual ciroum- atances. I will thank you if you see fit to recomend this item of $4.88 for payment. | Thank you very much. Sincerely yours, Director of Physical Bducation and Recreation, FCA:AH Varsity Basketball and Baseball Coach.
