[[logo]] NATIONAL AIR RACES CLEVELAND, OHIO BENJAMIN T. FRANKLIN GENERAL MANAGER May 15, 1950 Mr. William Mara Bendix Air Division Bendix Aviation Corp. Baltimore, Maryland Dear Bill: I wish to acknowledge the receipt of your company's check in the amount of $15,000.00, same to be credited against your participation in the 1950 National Air Races. I agree with everything you say in your letter with the exception of the fact that the wording should be "a part of this amount will be directed to the Relief Societies of the U.S. Defense services". As you realize, we will have expenses incurred in connection with the staging of the event this year even though it is all service participation. Sincerely, Ben Benjamin T. Franklin General Manager
