If you budget allows it I would shay at the Statler. The Book is
supposed to be the best in town but I doubt it is much better than the Statber —
and it is a little farther away. The Fort Shelby is too far away. The 4
Detroit-Leland is a very good hota. The Tuller is just as good a hotel as
you would find in any smaller town ( far better than the one is Ann Arbor
for example ) but it is an older hotel and the hewer ones are better. I would
have no objection to staying there myself and its location is excellent.

Be sure to let me khow how many are in the squad and how many will be
in the party. Also at what time you will arrive. We will meet you at the
train and drive you ail to your hotel. This will be on the 23rd. On that poe *1
evening I hope that some of us can have a small group dinner together eit will
find a place. The hotels are out of the question because they charge too
muche Remember the Greenfield cafeteria when younare in Detroit. They serve
the best food in town and are right dom town. I think we will go to the
Peacock tea room for dinner where you can get an exceklent course dinner
for a dollar. It is within a block of the General Motors Buolding and the boys
could take a look at the war exhibits there before we went back down town.
The G.M. building as you probably know ighbout 4 miles from down town.

Now as to Thurdday, the 24th. You will want to work out in the morning.
There may even be time for a work out on the 23rd before dinner if you get in
soon enough. After you have had lunch will see that you see one of tse war
plants in Detroit or maybe just a ride around town if the boys would rather
do that. To my mind &XXXtaonide thru the better residential districts does
not offer much but the boys may like it. They had better pick the Chrysler
Tank plant or Ford River Rouge. On the evening of the 24th I would like to
have the boys split up to spend the night before Christmas with us in our
homes, a boy or two to a home. I would like to have you spend that evening
with me, Phog. Now don't say that you wouldn't want to put us to that
trouble and all that. You don't suppose thatothe K.U. Alumni up here would
want thoge boys to spend that evening in a hotel, do you ? I talked to Walter
Shannon about it and theffirst thing he asked was if one of the boys could.
not come out and stay with him. Just consider that part arranged. Leave it
to mee Some of the boys will be taken to Birmingham and some to Grosse Pointe
but we will take care of them all.

This brings us to the 25th. I think you had wetter get the Michigan ###k
Central out of here at 8:30 asm. which will put you in Buffalo at about ©
1:00 pem. That will give you the afternoon for a good workout and the night
for a good night's sleep and with a workout the next morning the boys will
be on edge for the game in theceveninge

--_Laé me know how how this program fits in with your plans Phog and
I will work out all the details. On the evening of the 25th the boys will
have dinner at the homes of the Alumni where they will stay for the evening.
In that way some of will renew our contact with KU in a way we could not at
a formal evening and we will all be a jittle closer to K.U. as a result of

your visit.
- Very sincerely yours,
