Dear Dr. Allen:

Thank you for your letter of October 7th which
arrived while I was at the printer's office over the
week end. I am also glad to tell you of the arrival
just a few moments ago of the cut dummies and the photo-
graphs of exhibits 1-162 inclusive. You may be sure that
we are going to work on these immediately and get off to
the printer all of those that are called for in the cor-
rected galley proofs now in his hands so that he can pro-
ceed with the page makeup. The work of getting these
ready for the printer will not amount to much, and I hope
to have them in his hands by the time he has made the
corrections called for in the galleys and the type is
ready for breakup into page form.

Before replying to your comments regarding certain
illustrations, I would like to say two things. First, that
the type used on the running heads of all pages will be
the same as that used in Bierman and Mayer's WINNING FOOT-
BALL rather than the italic type shown in the sample pages.
We fully agree with your choice in this matter.

In regard to the expense of resetting certain poems
in roman rather than in italics, I am convinced that the
change is not sufficiently important to warrant the expense
involved. However, if you insist that these poems be reset
we can do so after the galleys have been broken up into page
form, but I must tell you that the expense of resetting
these,as well as the expense of all changes made in the
galleys and page proofs from original copy, is properly
chargeable as author's alterations in accordance with the
terms of the contract. We would greatly appreciate it,
therefore, if you would refrain from making changes,
especially such extensive ones as the resetting of this
poetry, in order to keep down the cost of alterations to

absolute minimum. Please, however, do not hesitate to

a
make corrections that are absolutely necessary, and you need
