Allen Department of Physical Education University of Kansas Lawrence, Kansas Dear Mr. Allens At the editorial meeting this morning, I brought up your proposed text on the T.A.I.* The opinion was practically unanimous that this would be a good book possibility with fine sales possibilities. Furthermore, everyone seemed to agree without question that you were the one person to write such a book. I feel sure that you plan to cover injuries such as might be re- ceived in most any sort of sport, including particularly football, basketball, baseball, track, and so forth. I do not know how full your program is at the present moment, but we all think that you should start on this book right away. We usually ask for a sample chapter and outline before offering contracts, but, in your case, we're willing to forego all this if you feel that you wouldn't like a contract right away. Certainly we are definitely interested in the book and would like to see you get started right away. Zs fp. W. E. Larned Publishing Director WEL: eff * Treatment of Athbétic Injuries
