Dear Walter:
Following our breakfast discussion a week ago Thursday, I came
across some files left with me by an old political acquaintance --
Norman Knight.
He is in the throes of divesting himself of certain radio properties.
I am passing them along for whatever interest they might have to
you or others who could steer them into friendly hands.
I would be very interested when you are next here to follow up on
certain aspects of our conversation on which I think you could give
us some very helpful guidance.
Best personal regards.
Sincerely,
/jh

MEMORANDUM

MEMORANDUM FOR LYN NOFZIGER
You may recall that I talked to you about a friend of mine who
wants to dispose of several television stations. He was down
a few weeks ago and left with me a lot of information about these
stations, which I am enclosing. If you know anyone who is
interested, who is a friend of ours, let's put them together with
Norman Knight. I have no interest in this other than it would always
be nice to have these kinds of stations in the hands of friends.
Knight is apparently desperate for cash and a hard deal could
presumably be made.
Let me know if you have any interest in pursuing this further and
if so, I will have Knight come in and see you.
Charles W. Colson

Dear Chuck:
Portsmouth, N. H.
WSRS
Worcester, Mass.
Our luncheon and the time before it and after were most enjoyable.
WEIM
Fitchburg, Mass.
The communities involved will gain appreciably by a well-qualified
WSAR
purchaser of the stations that I mentioned to you and we will be happy
Fall River, Mass.
WOXT
to supply additional information if desired.

I am hoping that this time next year we will have consolidated our
Palm Beach, Fla.
properties and that it will free up more of my time.

It was obvious during my visit that you are working much too hard and
that too many people have found out how effectively you function. The
country is fortunate that you made this choice but I do hope you will
watch your health just as I am attempting to do to recover my own at
this time.
I do hope to see you very soon again and will wait to hear from you
regarding your possible October 12 or 13 visit.
You have a remarkably gifted associate in Joan Hall and I do hope the
months ahead go smoothly for you.
With warmest regards,
Cordially,
