NATIONAL AIR RACES

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
