		Liverpool.


		Dear Mr. Cuff,
			I am writing to enquire whether or not it would be
		possible for our League to rent your grounds for about 12 Satur-
		day dates between 15th May and 31st August 1919 at a flat rate
		similar to what we are paying at our other grounds, which
		amounts to £10 per game., with the understanding that there should
		be no other baseball matches there during the season.

			The League, next year, will be represented by Liver-
		pool, Manchester, Birmingham and Sheffield in the north, and
		by four teams in the South in the vicinity of London.

			I am sending you a statement on 31st of this month
		of the amount of money and the charities benefited by this
		League and I also might mention here that I am also turning over
		to you, in turn to be handed to the charity, a cheque value
		£100 for the charity you think most desirable in Liverpool.

			Thanking you for a prompt reply,
					Yours faithfully,
						H. E. Booker
