Dear Dr. Allen;

I have your letter received today enclosing prescription
for Marvin Sollenbergers. You also state the basketball glasses
for Charles Walker had not been receiveds I think by this time
you must have them. If you do not, wire me collect and we will
trace tem. They have been shipped. There was a delay because of
two reasons. First, you will remember we did not receive the
préscription at once from Dr, Schrant. Second, for some reason or
other, our men got mixed up and made up a set of football goggles
for Walker by mistake. We then had to build the basketball glasses.

We are not using the rubber goggles for basketball, since
sweating becomes too severe, and the lens cannot be kept free from
steam in that case. Also, the goggle would prevent sufficient
split visions The frames and lens we are using for basketball
really take the "rap" in great style, and we recommend their use
without taping on the temples, although some coaches prefer this
method. They get knocked off once in a great while but are quickly
replaced, and never get broken regardless of the amount of contact
involved,

If you want us to proceed with the make-up on Sollenberger,
let me know and we will have them back to you in about one

week at the moste Incidentally, the purchase of a4
pair will only cost you $15.00

Sincerely yours,

ME Meaus
