every reason to be proud of their poi ice force.

Dear Director Webster:
On Thursday, May 12, 1988, the St. Louis Police Department

the line of duty. The Z~hird Annual Memorial Breakfast will
be held in the main ballroom of the Clarion Hotel, from 7:30
to 9:00 a.m. We anticipate an attendance of 1600.
As chairman of the Breakfast.Committee, it is my privilege
to invite you to give the main address at the Breakfast.
Please speak on any subject of your choice for approximately
15 to 20 minutes.
I have been advised that your schedule may not be conducive
to honoring our invitation. While I understand that, I have
to hope that the combination of this very special occasion,
and your St. Louis roots, will be persuasive in this heart
felt invitation.
Please know that we are prepared to meet any cost for trans-
portation, accomodations and other expenses you invoke in
our behalf.
Thank you for any consideration you ~ give this request.
