I am also glad that you and Mrs. Allen are
going to give first place to the reading of galley
proofs and illustrations as they come along. They
should be starting out to you within the next few

In your letter of September 25 you send
me a copy of the letter from Mr. Shuster, President
of Appleton-Century, in which he gave you permission
to print "The Prayer of a Sportsman" for the amount
of $10.00. I am including this amount in the check
herewith and ask that you pay Appleton-Century direct.
You are correct that they would have probably charged
us, as publishers, more.

I hope that on the other poem, "The Half
Back", for which we have not permission, you will
get permission from Mr. Braley direct as promptly
as possible.

With kindest regards,

Sincerely yours,
