Dear Doctor Allen:

L am acknowledging your letter of March 30
in reply to mine regarding Dr. Fishbein's attitude
concerning a foreword for the book on athletic
injuries. I note you felt that he would take that
position and are not disappointed. I, too, feel that
an M.D. who is nationally known and who has been
connected with athletics will fit the bill even better.

I am sorry you are not coming down to the
Rules meeting this year for I looked forward to seeing
you and having a fuller discussion about the book. i
do not, however, want you to think I am pushing you
in any way for [ know how you feel about spending
another summer writing.

However, it is a mighty important ,subject
which canheép not only sport in general, but, iutually
beneficial. ' It would also, I should think be another
outstanding milestone in your splendid career. Hence,
we must not forget the idea and possibly during the
summer you could at least draw up a table of contents
showing in rough fashion the contents of each chapter
so we may consider it together. By doing that we will
211 have a clearer picture and possibly the "urge"
might come to write a little at odd times as you felt
like it.

I know at the present time you ere pretty
tired so forget the matter for the time being, unless
you desire to discuss it further.

I look forward to seeing you on your next
trip to New York.

Sincerely yours,

CWM:MK
