Dear Dr. Allen:

I have been so rushed that I have had to delay
answering your letter of January 28.

Just to make certain we are not overlooking
anything, I will again take up the matter of Dill's
manuscript with our Editorial Committee, and also
the question of a book on athletic injuries. I will
then pass on their opinions to you.

In your letter you did not. say whether Mr. Dill
expected to expand his present pamphlet into something
worth while and more commercially feasibles We told
you in its present form we did not think it was com-
mercially feasible for us and even if expanded, we
doubted the market. Therefore, we merely suggested
that if Mr. Dill is going to expand without any
encouragement from us, we will be glad to look into
the matter again in the future but we were not
interested in it as at present. Maybe you have dis-
cussed this with Mr. Dill and know his plans.

Concerning a book on injuries, it is my feel-
ing that it should not cover football injuries alone
as expressed in your letter, but all athletic injuries.
This will naturally widen the market and there are, of
course, injuries which happen in all sports which are
treated more or less alike. There is probably a4 great
Similarity between all sports as to proper taping,
bandaging, etc., as well as certain equipment. Hence,
let us think about the book as being all ers
rather than a narrow market.

In -this connection, did you see a copy of
Dr. Stevens! book on FOOTBALL INJURIES which was pub-
lished by Barnes in 1933? I just got a copy and it
