We would like to have you speak on Sunday, April 28th at 1 P.M. in Von der Mehden Hall.

We look forward to hearing from you very soon-flyers will be sent out shortly to inform students of your appearance at the University of Connecticut.

Dear ----:

The terms you have stated in your most recent letter are Fine.

I wonder if I could ask you to ascertain who let me know whether air transportation directly to Storrs is available of or what the nearest airport might be.

I hope you will be sending me a ticket in advance of the date, and that you might investigate the possibility of my arriving on the 27th and leaving on the evening of the 28th.

Sincerely,
