Dear Hr, Hylend:

: I have just expressed this morning all of the
gut Guumies complete with the titles that I thought
best. I made them as short and as comprehensive as
possible. If it is necessary for you to delete front
and back views to make the one line, it wili be
entirely agreeable, as I will trust that to your
petter judgment. . |

liys, Allen and Miss Gile are doing a fine bit
of work, and the way things are progressing we sho.
have most of the stuff that you need in your possess
fon in the very near future. I am happy at the way
the work is progressing, and I am very sure that we
will have a splendid book. | i 8

It was necessary for me to keep some of the
eut dummies to check with Mrs, Alien on some of her
galleys. Knowing that the printer's plant will not
be open on Saturday I kept this stuff as long as I
possibly could consistent with ao erat in reading
the galleys and ehecking with the detail, It has~
proved profitable because we have been able to olim-
inate a few slight mistakes by being able to cheek
back on the cut dummies, I believe that we have lost
as little time as possible under the conditions, know-
ing that your plant is not in operation Saturday and
the printers likewise, |

So we try to get everything out the weekend
to you so that you will have it on hand Monday morning.
Pye stuff that we receive Monday we try to get back |
on the way by at least Wednesday, If it doesn’t start
on Weflnesday then we rather plan to get everything in
shape so thet we ean ship it by at least Friday or
Saturday so that 1t will be on hand for you Honday.
