Dear Dr. Allen:

This will acknowledge receipt of your letter of

October 25th which has undoubtedly crossed in the mails my
recent letters. There is no necessity, therefore, for me
to answer the first three paragraphs of your letter since
I have already written you that we have received from you
the cut dummies of diagrams 1 to 12 as well as your origin-
al drawings containing the copy for the descriptive titles
which were transferred to the cut dummies before sending
these to the printer. In my letter of yesterday I stated
that I hoped that the printer would again start sending
page proofs last night. I find from the morning report
that he was unable to do so although I do know that the
work of page makeup is again proceeding and I feel guite

certain that additional pages will start forward to you
tonight.

In reply to the last paragraph of your letter re-—
garding size of type used, I may say that Mr. McGraw is not
in the office today, but he showed me yesterday your telegram
and in his absence I secured your two letters of October 25th
addressed to him. I will take the liberty of answering some
of your questions during his absence.

In your letter to Mr. McGraw you stated that the
original sample pages which were prepared were set in 12 point
type. Such was not the case as the original samples were set
in 11 point. I eam sure, however, that you may be pardoned in
this instance because the difference between 11 and 12 point
type is approximately 1/72 of an inch.

These original samples, as you know, were prepared
from a very small portion of the manuscript and after we
received the complete manuscript, as well as the material

for all of the illustrations, we realized that it would be
