February 9, 1961 Mr. Philip If. Bbttfeld Executive Director Miss Universe Beauty Pageant, ?·nc. Hotel Delmonico Hew York 22, Hew York Dear Mr. Bottfeld, Thank you for thinking of the Sands for the Miss Universe Beauty Pageant, but we are returning the franenise agreements unsigned, as we donft feel that we will be able to handle this project this year. Our schedule is so heavy with special shows and TV work that the management here feels we should pass up the Nevada franchise for your fine pageant. Please keep us in mind for the future, and please explain to Paul Zerler that I appreciate his letter last that we would like to pass up his suggestion and offer also. Kindest regards, A1 freeman Promotidn Director
