HAWK “Mc GRAW HILL” NEW YORK ALDWYCH HOUSE,W.C.2. TRADE DEPARTMENT = SECRETARY. & ASST. TREASURER November 4 oo Dr. Forrest C. Allen University of Kansas Lawrence, Kansas Dear Dr. Allen: I find I forgot to acknowledge your letter of October 30 which came with your letter of November 1. I am this morning also in receipt of your letter of November 2, In the letter of the 30th you tell me that Smith- Grieves have but fifty copies on hand of MY BASKETBALL BIBLE and they will get rid of these soon and will not run any more. I suggest you ask them to either throw in the type or destroy the plates if there are any and then there will be no question. Yes, we, too, are receiving orders for BETTER BASKETBALL and by the time the book is out we should have quite a few on hand. In your letter of November 1 you pass on an inquiry from the Director of Physical Education at Durango, Mexico, and we are notifying him that the book will be ready the end of this month and shipped him promptly upon publication. In your letter of November 2 you enclose correspondence from the Smith-Grieves Company together with their reports to you, listing all the people who purchased MY BASKETBALL BIBLE. This will be helpful to us and we can use it to very good advantage. With kindest regards, Sincerely yours, ova: AAO
