Dear Bleanor:

Mother just called me on the phone and said you wanted
five tickets. You may count on them. —

We are staying at the Hotel Belvedere. I have written
them for prices, and if you and Gil and Bob and Jean are
- planning to be in New York I thought Bob and Gil could stay
together and you and Jean could share a room. We have special
rates, and of course I would be glad to have Gil as my guest.
After the game we will have a little party and you may feel
perfestly free to invite any of your friends to eat with our
boys after the game.

fhe Hotel Belvedere is just across the street from
Madison Square Garden. We are staying there to obviate taxi
difficulty. We will get into New York on the 27th and pley
the 28th. If you end Gil want to go to New York early with
Bob and Jean I could make arrangements for your reservations.
You write and tell me what you want to do.

Mother talks one day about going and the next day she
talks differently. She talled some of going ahead with Bob
wrote he was having the flu. She could just as easily go to
Philadelphia and visit with you children while we go on to
Buffalo, but we will let her work that out.

Affeoctionately,

PCA:AH
