MFR r. D. Taylor,
President Pendleton Roundup,
Pendleton, oregon.
Dear Mr.. Taylor:
lust have a letter from Roy Bish-
op and also have kept In communica-
tion with your people by wire, so we
are now expecting you 10 arrive on
Saturday morning, the 18th, about
eight O'Clock. We will have a party
meet YOU in Minneapolis on arrival
there and accompany you to st. Paul;
and also have people meet you at the
station and escort you to the St
Francis Hotel. where Mr.. Wild has
made reservations for the Pendleton
party As soon as you know defi-
nitely how many people there viii be
I'm your party and how many wish to
ride horses, wish you would wire
me so can get just that number OF
horses While horses are going to be
rard to get here, l am going to make
good on my promise. You will have
time to go to the hotel, get dressed
and rested and have an early lunche-
on, and leave the hotel at one o'clock,
in time TO take your place In the pa
rade. We have arrnged for YOU what
we consider the best place In the pa
rade, and you will be with the best
band of the forty bands we shave.
am very glad you are going to be here
for the opening day as that will be
the important movie feature. We
have arranged for the principal NOV
ing picture people to be here, and II
will be great publicity for the Round
Up. Let me suggest that the wea-
ther being colder here than you have
at home, your people should have
heavy sweaters and stockings OF
course, those who wear chaps will be
all right, but the sweater will be a
great help and they should also have
heavy gloves, If II should happen to
be cold day think from what Roy
Bishop tells me that YOU will have
the most attractive costume in the
whole forty thousand. They expected
me to go in the reviewing stand, but
am going to ride with the Pendle'
tons, II, you do not object I have
kind OF weakness for your people.
Very truly yours.
