    im * 4 Jf EXECUTIVE OFFICES DISTRIBUTING CORPORATION 666 FIFTH AVENUE, NEW YORK 19, NY. PHONE CIRCLE 6-1000 A Mr. A1 Freeman Sands Hotel LqS Vegas, Nev. My dear Al: September 5th, 1958 Since my letter to you of July 20th advising that Mr. Hass Borg had won the Howdy Partner contest, a double check has been made and we now find Mr. Wm. Watmough of our Los Angeles office nosed out Mr. Borg who ran a good second. 40ml**0? /JN^taoa^ and his wife will arrive at the Sands on September 15th and ~**^*N% r0* stay through the 20th. ^0??eeirt?╜w4.*y??U?╟ HbfflmBdiatiSl^1ipdn arrival and I know you will extend him every possible courtesy - and selfishly, I wish it was me instead of Bill. You will find Bill a very unusual character but one of the world's greatest salesmen, and he is the guy who engineered the playdate on Howdy Partner with "War and Peace" in every important theatre and drive-in in the Los Angeles territory. I have heard nothing at this end regarding the sale of the Howdy Partner television pilot, and if I learn of anything important I will keep you advised. You advise Angel Bread will be distributed in ten cities by September and I hope this keeps on going. I note your mother finally moved to California and I hope you and your family are all in fine health. The writer plans a trip West after the first of the year, and the first stop west of Denver will be Las Vegas.
