Dear Dr. Allen:

This will acknowledge your letter of April 17, advising that the spe-
cial backboards have been received and you are going to put them up
right away. .

As cmecerns the New York meeting on May 1 and 2, it is our plan to
have Mr. Medart and “Yours Truly" present for this meeting, condi-
tional that we can get the special backboards erected at some school
near the McAlpine Hotel, as mentioned in previous correspondence.
This brings up the question of the location for these boards in New
York.

We acted upon the suggestion contained in your letter of April 1) and
have written Mr. Porter, asking him to lem his weight toward getting
someone in New York to make a contact with some school or college for
this purpose. This morning we received a copy of a letter Mr. Porter
wrote Mr. Owen Reed, of Scholastic Coach, 250 E. 43rd Street, New York,
aSking that Mr. Reed attempt to locate a school for us.

I am wondering whether you are acquainted with Mr. Reed and whether a
little help from your end would assist us in getting the co-operation
of Mr. Reed in this matter. Obviously, today being the 18th, we are
going to need some fast action to enable us to get these boards out
of St. Louis | into New York and erected.

Anything you may care to do to assist us will, of course, be genuinely
appreciated.

I look forward with a great deal of pleasure to meeting you again, and
with kindest regards, remain

Cordially yours,
FRED YRDART MANUFACTURING CO.
