Mr. C. R. Baxter,

The Sporting News,

10th and Olive Streets,
8t. Louis 1, Mo.

Dear Mr. Baxter:

Last year I wrote Mr. J. Gs. Taylor Spink and subscribed to The
Sporting News for my son, Pfe. Robert B. Allen, 3305th &, U.,ASTP,
University of Penmsylvania, Philadelphia, Pa. I paid the service
rate for him. He sent me your letter dated April 26, 1944 - Last
Call-Final Oppertunity to Reveive Free Register.

I told him that I wanted to subscribe for The Sporting News for
him again if you had the special reduced offer for service men, but
i have been so busy with commencement dates and other speaking en-
gagenents that IT have neglected to respond to this letter.

If the offer is still good I would like to send you a cheek and
have you send to him the back copies since his subscription ran out,
and if possible since he is such a great baseball fan and a former
player on the varsity here, I sould like for him to have the Free
Register.

Awaiting your reply before I 11 js my check, I am

Sincerely yours,

_ Director of Physical Education,
POA :Ali Varsity Basketball Coach.
