I understand you live at the Shoreham and you can probably be of assistance in getting him some satisfactory quarters there. Both Mr. and Mrs. Mehornay are fine people and trie sort of persons that any hotel should be 6la(i to nave as guests. I will appreciate any help you can give them in getting located at the Shoreham.

I have lived at the ohoreham for over five years and I have been attempting, without success, for several months to get a larger apartment than the one I now have. Mr, Moore, the manager of the hotel, has done everything he can to get me relocated, but as the hotel is completely occupied with no prospect of Bay vacancies, he has been unable to do anything for me. He advised me that they have a long waiting list, among vfeleh is oecretary of the Navy Knox, who has hem trying to get an apartment at the ever since coming to Waahlmgton last suiamer. sincerely yours, H* S# Iccles, VI:b c FEDERAL.RESERVE BANK OF KANSAS CITY R.
