Dear Mr. Bond:

We will be happy to have you as the guest speaker for the anniversary of the Progressive Club on Monday, October 16, 1967 at 8:00 p.m.

I would suggest that you travel by Southern Airways to the Moultrie-Thomasville airport. I will meet you there. The plane leaves Atlanta at 4:15 p.m. and arrives at Thomasville at 5:39 p.m. The roundtrip fare is $38.88.

We will reserve a room for you at the Holiday Inn in Thomasville, for October 16, 1967.

If we can be of further service in helping to make your trip and stay more pleasant, just let us know.

We look forward to meeting you on October 16, 1967.

Very truly yours,

Elijah Hill, Jr.,
President

Dear Mr. Hill:

Many thanks for your kind letter. Could you purchase the airplane ticket there and have it mailed to me, or arrange for me to pick it up at the Delta _Southern Airlines ticket counter at the Atlanta airport?
