I have deducted the credit of $3.54 from $20.25, which makes $16.71, and 2% for 10 days would be 33¢. Adding the parcel post and insurance charges, the check according to my calculation should be $16.72.

PATA S MEMORANDUM ee Date dune.13, 1944 From ;___ Dick Maher_ Ba oe Tot Dr. Phog Allen Subje Wilson K-28 Golf Balls Stopped at your office this noon but could not wait until you returned. Would greatly appreciate it if you would order me two dozen of the subject named golf balls. They proved to be excellent playing balls. Here is the set-up, Doctor. We need a few balls but not necessarily two dozen. In case you might be interested, you may take as few or as many as you desire for your own use. If you don't want any, we'll take the two dozen and easily dispose of any we don't want. There is absolutely no rush this time if you should decide to order. Of course Doctor, I'm assuming a little too much I realize and taking advantage of your good nature. So if this is too much bother to you just ignore this favor. If for any reason you wish to con- tact me please call the Navy Electrical School - - - Phone 684. Gratefully yours, Ni Brake’ Dear Dr- Allem: We do not have a surplus of golf balls to sell.e Any sale that we make we require our customers to send in old golf ballse We cannot continue to sell you balls without receiving the old ones, but we are shipping you the four dozen balls billed above in order to help you get started. If you have no other means of obtaining the golf balls, I believe it would be a good idea to require those who pur» chase new balls, to turn in old ones.

Allen today, he told me that you were interested in purchasing 12 pairs of basket ball shoes, 12 psirs of pants and 12 shirts. First, on shoes ~ we have absolutely nothing whatsoever to offer you. Haven't had any basket »all shoes now for quite some time, and no prospects of getting eny more at an early date. However, the shoes that you have that we sold you for your ASTP Training Progrem could be used for this sport. It is just e suggestion on our part. Qn shirts - we have no two color combinations in stock, and it would probably require four to five weeks to have them made up special under conditions today. We do have plain colors, and we understand that you are interested in either Royal blue or new gold. In our No. B176P, which is a rayon, cotton reinforced shirt, medium weight, we could supply either color; sizes 52 to 42. Price $1.00 each. We also have a medium weight cotton, No. Bl62P, in stoek in these colors, which would only cost 50¢ each. In a pant ~ we have our No. B289, a good grade OD khaki, standard model; that is, button front, semi-belt, and with pads; sizes 28 to 40 inclusive, which would eost you 95¢ a pair. Then if your team isn't too large, we could supply our No. B91 Pant, which is a rayon twill, in new gold, ss we have sizes only 28, $0 end 52 in stoek; the price $1.35 per pair. If your boys could wear these and then get the No. B176 Shirt in Royal blue, it would make a very flashy outfit. | All quotations are f. o. b. Kansas City, Missouri.

If and when you get the package and look these shirts over you feel that they are worth 75¢ each to you for any purpose you are welcome to them at that price. On the other hand if you cannot use them or if there is not some fraternity group or some other bunch of boys up there that can use them and you do want to return them it will be O-Ke to mail them back in or give them to Mandy the first time he is around. I am sending him a copy of this letter so he will be advised accordingly- I am frank to admit that they might be just a little smal] for some of your boys then again there are a few that will be all right as to sizese My thought was that you could at least use them as a practice garment on some of your second or third stringers. Drop up to the second floor and see us occasionally when you are in towne Mrs- Allen dropped in and paid us a little visit a month or two ago and had a mighty fine looking daughter with her and if I remember correctly looks a little bit like the pater side of the family.
