Your letter received yesterday and also read the

one you sent Mr. Ash. I suspected a "nigger in

the woodpile"” last week when I called ilr., Lower

and he was so free with his sarcasmh’@bout who was

in charge of the affairs, in the role of Lt. Gardner.

I am glad everything is straightened out and I une

derstand that we are to have our majorettes at the

halftime of the big game and that we will take care
of the situation as your own band would for yOUe

Oh yes, Lt. Hart, he pronounced it Hawt, called me
from Olathe today and just didn't know whether he
could use our band or not. He had the letter I
had written Lt. Gardner last week when I was given
to understand that he was in charge. I told him he
was a couple days behind as everything was settled
last Tuesday about our band and what we were to do.
He turned out to be very nice after I put a little
sarcasm in to match his. Our plans will coincide
with what you wanted. I understand they are bring-
ing their band, 25 negroes, but we will take over
for you and at the half time. They will take care
of the flag rasing program.

£ appreciate what you have done for us and hope that:
f can return the favor some time,

Sincerely
