Dear Dr. Allen;

We received your order for one pair of basketball glasses
for Charles Walker for which we thank you.

We will await the arrival of prescription from Dre Schrant
of Hutchinson, and will then give them individual attention. The
lens we use are heated to a certain temperature and then slowly
cooled over a three day period, and have certainly been holding
up well. We will hurry along these glasses after we receive the
prescription, although a full week at least is needed to turn
out a really dependable pair of lens.

I think Walker will get the best results just wearing the
glasses normally as he would his reading glasses. That has been
our experience to date, although some colleges have preferred to
use two small pieces of tape over the temple. On my own players
last year we wore them without additional fastening, and no
amount of bad treatment or’rough usage caused any trouble.

Sincerely yours,

LEM/ss Sales Director
