Dear Dr. Allens

I have inquired at several book stores and sport shops trying to pur-
chase your book "My Basketball Bible", however I have been unable to find
it. : wa

I have a goung friend who is a freshman in highschool and who appar-
ently has a great deal of ability and who is a very promising young basket-
ball player. I know that your "Basketball Bible" would be a great deal of
help to him. If this is an appropriate Book for a boy of his age, would
you kindly have one sent to me at the above address and I will send you a
check for the amount.

No doubt you will not remember who Joe Winter ise I might say that I
was the former assistant manager for the Metropolitan Life Insurance. Coe of
the Topeka office and had the privilege of talking with you on two or three
occasions at which time we had a very congenial conversation about my cousin
and your old friend Pat Crowell.

Thanking you in advance for your trouble, I remain

Yours truly,

Je E. Winter
