Dear Dr. Allen:

I acknowledge your letter of June 25. You ask
what progress we have made in installing BETTER BASKETBALL
in various of the larger schools of physical education.

May I say that we have had correspondence and sent circulars,
as well as complimentary copies, to most of the coaches and
directors of the various schools in the country. We have had
many flattering replies and I am sure this Fall many of them
will use the book in their courses from what they have told
us. I think I mentioned this fact in my last letter to you
as well. The book has also appeared in many advertisements
plus all the circularization.|

During the first six months of this year we have
sold just over 700 copies which means that total sales are
about 2100 copies. I think this is an excellent showing for
seven months’ sales and I hope by the end of the next basket-
ball season to do equally well. It takes some time to get
a book such as this rolling, plus the fact that the book did
not come out until after the season had begun. Around $280.00
is due in royalties and I shall be glad to forward it if
Mrs. Allenwould like to have it.

I look forward with interest to your answer to my
queries about the Thorndike book on Athletic Injuries.

Sincerely yours, —

CWM: HML
