Dear Dr. Allen:

I acknowledge your letter of June 28 and under
separate cover I am sending you a copy of Dr. Thorndike's
book on Athletic Injuries. After you go over it, I would
like your opinion, and how you think your book on the same
subject will differ and, of course, be better. In my mind
the mechanical end is only fair.

You are not egotistical when you talk of your
work in this field for I have known of your reputation con- e
cerning the treatment of athletic injuries long before we
came together. I also have known of some of the people
you have trained such as Cox of Harvard.

I agree on your thinking as to schedule for pro-
ducing the book; that is, to go slowly so you will not be
rushed and for the manuscript to be ready two years hence,
Say in March or April of 1940.

Whenever you care to proceed with what pictures
you may need, I would do so, but please try to hold the
expense to a minimum.

I don't blame you after the end of the year not to
feel like doing much heavy work now, and I envy you the fun
you are having playing golf, etc., as described. I also
hope you have a mighty restful Summer and vacation.

With kindest regards,

Sincerely yours,

CWM: HML
