Dear Dr. Allen:

I acknowledge your five letters of
June 13. While the details were being cared for,
I have not answered more promptly because I was
at my Class Reunion the letter part of last week
and am just now working out from under . :

In the first letter you sae us names
and addresses of the people mentioned in your
book and we are writing each a personal letter.
I am sure this should sell a few copies. With
the letters we are also enclosing a circular of
the book to give those of them who do not know
about the book a little better picture.

With the second letter you send a list
of the summer coaching schools and we will check
the names thereon against the list to whom we have
already written recommending your book.

i, too, agree that a good field for
BETTER BASKETBALL is in the teachers colleges
and this has already been covered on two occasions.
Our College Department had what we feel a very
excellent campaign to all of them and they will
probably do so again late in the summer.

Your third letter gives me the Smith-
Grieves list and we will check it with our records.

The fourth letter tells me you feel that
you should soon be thinking about the book on
Injuries. Before definitely telling you to go ahead
with McLain, I would like your reaction to my letter
