In the first letter you acknowledge mine

asking about a book on basketball for girls.-In
the beginning we were doubtful about it; but I
wanted your opinion Ghee you confirm,when you say
you are not enthusiastic about the possibility of
selling many books on the subject. I do not think
that it is necessary for me to write Mr. Porter as
you suggest. I am sure our Editorial Department
will decline publication without further delay.
Thank you, however, for your help in this matter.

In your first letter of December 30 you
tell me you probably have received the six author
copies and I am glad that you now understand this,
as well as the reason for the Spalding Store in
Kansas City not having stock on hand. I would
drop them a line but do not know how much activity

stimulated.

In your third letter you bring up the
question of the drawing on the front cover. If we

can change the die a little bit, I will do so so as

to show the player off the floor, for I see your

point. However, I do not think the latter terribly

important for such a drawing is really merely a .
little symbol of what the book is about and could
not, at best, really be very accurate.

I note that you have found no mistakes
as yet and imagine that there are not many for on
