A Letter from Mr. Reach and Col. Rogers
Mr. Kulikowski,
This self-imposed abscence must stop. We can no longer conceal it under the guise of injury and must seek resolution immediately.
With regard to Mr. Brand, we have spoken with him numerous times, but he refuses to acknowledge his role in this dispute. He is resolute in that the fines levied upon you were earned and well deserved. However, we are prepared to make reparations. Mr. Brand will continue to act as manager, but his decisions are now subject to our approval.
Do not, however, take this to mean that you have won this battle. This is our final offer to you good sir. For your dedicated service we have given you every opportunity to put an end to this conflict respectfully, but you chose to sit idly by and wait for us to resolve it for you. You signed a contract Mr. Kulikowski, and the fact that you would dishonor yourself by not fulfilling it raises serious questions about your depth of character. Do not again assume that we will be so generous in the future.
Respectfully,
Mr. Alfred J. Reach
Col. John P. Rogers
Owners, Philadelphia Phillies
