You ean rest assured, Mr, MeGraw, that I have implicit eon-
fidence in your splendid firm in ore a fulsome job on
everything that they attempt to do. sometimes laugh at my
own antics, I remember your Mr, Kelly (and by ‘the way, how
is Kelly's knee?) at the luncheon that we had together with
you and the other amiable friend, telling me that ir, Hood
of our engineering department conatantly wrote Istters in™
wondering why they didn't advertise his book more, Ina |
reflective comparison I see myself knocking at the Whittelsley
House advertising door. So while you sometimes get impatient
with a lot of my. nonsense, I know a lot of my silly ideas
only register a smile on your condescending and Cees
countenance, Lut as you say, we are both partners, and

the book is highly successful we are both happy.

While I have worked with Mrs, Allen to
make this the very best book that in our opinion could be
written, I must have a practical yen to make your part of >
: publishing it a success, So while dollars and cents are

amportant in publishing the book, I do appreciate our ob-
ligation to you in making this the best basketball sellor
that has ever been published, |

: 3 When TIT spoke at Teachers College this
summer to ‘the group I mentioned the book, and upon every
oecasion if I can find any reason for mentioning this new
book I do 80, |

Please forgive this long, tiresom letter,
and do not feel that you have to acknowledge it, |

| | I am expecting to buttress this Bierman
list with a group of individuals that I think will do us a
Lot of good. Ernie Quigley, the national league public
relations man and chief of umpires, told mo that when he got
a copy, if end when he did, that if you would write him and
tell him the angles that you want stressed he would give
some time to our book on his national radio hooltup. He is
going to talk on sports and officiate some of the nation's
high light games, and he said he would give us a break, I, ~
of course, will comment on this later, but I was just showe-
ing you how I am cooperating in every possible way to get
this book to the attention of the people. I think it will
merit their nod, ;

Very sincerely yours,
