In so far as is concerned your letter of October
seventh, to which I replied on October thirteenth, you
will note that I specifically acknowledged the receipt
of the cut dummies and corresponding pee eeerepae or
exhibits 1-162 inclusive.

In the first paragraph of your letter of October
eighth, however, you state, "I have just expressed this
morning all of the cut dummies complete with the titles
that I thought best." From this I assumed that you had
reference to the cut dummies of the diagrams and did not
check up on this point with Mr. Gartner until this after-
noon after receiving your letter of October sixteenth. If
the cut dummies mentioned in your letter of October eighth
referred to the twelve cut dummies of diagrams and your
original copy of the remaining diagrams and the .correspond-
ing legends, then we still have not received this package.

Of course it is possible that this will arrive
this afternoon and if it does I will wire you accordingly.

I am sorry if I have caused you any inconvenience
because the misunderstanding was due entirely to my
assumption that the first sentence of your letter of
October eighth referred to the cut dummies of the diagrams
since you had already returned all cut dummies of the ex-
hibits. I have tried to be specific in my acknowledgment
of illustration material, referring to them either as ex-
hibits or diagrams, and will continue to do so, and would
appreciate it if you would do likewise although after we
receive the package mentioned in your letter of October
eighth, everything should straighten itself out, and we
will have clear sailing from now until the page makeup has
been completed.

I want you to know that no time has been lost
and nothing will be lost if this package arrives today or
tomorrow.

Very truly yours,
