Dear Sir:

I am in receipt of your letter underdate of June 6, 1968, relating to some factors incidental to making the trip to Pensacola for the purpose of delivering a Commencement Address.

Reservations have been made for your stay at Holiday Inn on Highway 29. A member of the staff will meet Flight No. 593 on Monday June 17, with the anticipation of your arrival.

There will be an honorarium worthy of your favored consideration.
