August 16, 1949 Mr. Earnest Williams Virginian Hotel Lynchburg, Virginia Dear Ernie: Congratulations! You won the prize which is a ticket and trip to the Air Races in Cleveland. I am giving you this advance notice now and you will get a more formal notice later. I would appreciate knowing as quickly as possible whether or not you plan to go to Cleveland. If you do, I will have a suite available for yourself and Mrs. Williams on September 2nd. I will take care of registering you in so that you will not be bothered with this detail. I also have tickets for the Bendix box and will see that these are sent to you as soon as you let me know about your plans. As far as expenses for the trip are concerned; you can simply send me your statement covering transportation, and other costs, and I'll see that a check is forthcoming. Again, congratulations! and best regards. Sincerely, BENDIX RADIO, Television & Broadcast Receiver Division W.A Mara General Manager WAM:dr
