If all are satisfied at that end as to the entertainment for the boys, the faculty and tactical officers, then we are more than pleased. “No doubt there were several little mishaps, but we want to assure you that if there were any, they were un intentional. “If by any chance we might be of assistance to you in any form don’t hesitate to call upon us. “Fort Worth was indeed pleased as to the conduct of all and to say the least, it was a pleasure to have you all with us.
