My dear Dr. Allen:

Undoubtedly you have already received a letter from Mr.

Ned Irish regarding room accommodations for your teams

when they come to New York to play in Madison Square Garden.
We are pleased to announce that the Belvedere Hotel,
directly opposite Madison Square Garden, will be official
headquarters for the Basket Ball Teams this coming season.

We have made special rates to accommodate two members of
your team to a room at $2.00 per person or $4.00 for the
room. For either the manager or coach we have arranged

to give a two-room suite at the rate of $4.00. We feel
these rates are excellent value as all of our rooms are
exceedingly large, and each has its own private bath with
tub-shower combination, as well as a small serving ‘kitchen.

Our Belvedere restaurant offers the best in good, substan-
tial food, and to the Basketball teams we can offer specially
arranged, athletic dinners, consisting of fruit cup, individ-
ual steak, baked potato, green vegetable salad, dessert,

and beverage for $1.75, or any specially arranged menus.

We would request that you make reservations for the desired
number of rooms and suites weli in advance, so that we may
arrange to have the teams together in adjoining rooms or

on the same floor.

Should there be any further information that you desire
in assisting you to line up your reservations, please do
not hesitate to so ask me.

We are looking forward with much pleasure to having you
and your team with us, and with our best wishes for a
successful season, we are.

Cordially yours,
