The St. Louis Hotel MRS. M.K. SCHEMMER, PROP, STEAM HEATED ROOMS WITH BATH TELEPHONES Perry, Oklahoma ‘Apr.9,194é2. Forrest C. Allen, Dear Mr. Allen;- Peculisr things do happen, absentmindeness is no worse than preconcieved idess. after checking over whst happened when you left nere I think I know sbout what heppened- You eterted to pay the bill and then in the process of gettin some other things on the bil) for the boys, you thought you had paid it: snd Mrs.Vandenberg was so sure in her own mind thet we would get gq check from the college that she never mentioned the fact that you hedn't done so. The reason I never brought the metter up sooner wes becsuse I wes giving it time to go through the routine it would have to if it was psid through the college. I know you dont want something for nothing, snd we sre thet wey too; we do not want to be psid twice; we gppreciate your patronage snd respect you and esteem your friendship highly. I dont know how you keep books on your funds, However if you esnnot reconstruct the mstter in your mind and be satisfied that you did'nt psy us,plesase forget the whgle matter snd emd there will be no bad feeling sbout it as it is 9 matter thet I would sooner not collect than collect and siways leave s feeling with you that we probably got to you. Sincerely, StLouis Hotel by, Martacicy
