Dear lir, MeGraw:

I have received a letter from Mr. Marion
Miller, of Lowe-Campbeli., WMilier publishes 4 trade
catalog called "The Coach", Last summer he wrote me
and wanted te know more about my book so that he
could boost “Better Basketball". 3

: I told Miller about the chapter on "Tales"
and sent him a copy of the first draft of one of the
> 4 Drean Touch Down, This was in 1920, while I
was coaching football at Kansas.

Miller wrote me that he was figuring on
running this yarn in The Coach to boost the book. It
had slipped my mind that I had sent him a copy last
summer, so I asked him to send me a copy of the stuff
he had on hand, I thought perhaps your firm had sent
him a copy, but upon checking up I find that I had
mailed him an early copy. |

. This morning he writes me that McGraw-Hill
nyiinformed him the revised copy is in the hands
| printer and will not be available for some time.
He asked that I look over the enclosed copy that he
mailed me of A Dream Touch Down and make any corrections
that I desired. He requests that it be returned at an
early date. .

  

I am writing you to see if there is any ob-
jection on your part to his running this story in his
endeavor to advertise the book, Personally, I think
it would be a great ad if he would run it because it
shows an angle of the text that few books show. In
other words, it is an inspirational chapter and this
is so different from most of the coaching books that
I believe it would go over in fine style.
