Dear Dr. Allen:

While dicteting this morning, your letter
of November 5 was placed on my desk, which I answer
at once.

We are mighty glad to have your added
suggestions to our present list and we will make
more investigations about basketball writers around
New York, as well as the radio. Of course, you
realize that to get a book talked about over the
radio is pretty difficult, particularly around here.
We will, however, try to work it in some way.

The main point is that we want to send out
as many complimentary copies as necessary; that is,
we do not want to restrict the list in any way for
we went the widest appeal possible. Any further
names you think of, please send on from time to
time as you think of them for we shall be glad to
add them to the list.

As I told you, I know a great many of the
men on the list and just as the book is «going out
to them, I write them a personal note which helps
as well.

At the moment, I do not think there is
more that I can comment on for the proofs seem to be
sliding back and forth very promptly and the details
are nearing completion. I know we are all going to
be satisfied with the result and the book should do.
well not only for one year, but for many. a

With kindest regards,
Sincerely yours,
