Allen PAGE’ —27 DATE 9/21/37 : I see from the note on the bottom of the letter that the bundle of drawings, blueprints, photstats, etc. which were sent has had a covering letter so you know about them. To venture a guess as to the publication . date of BETTER BASKETBALL is at this time difficult. However, I should think it would be ready around the cae middle of November. The main thing which will be slow is making positive the diagrams and illustrations are ‘ right. The manuscript is already at the printers and ' they will start setting it, sending you galleys as ; they come off. You will naturally have to hold the i galleys until you get all the illustrations to make sure the manuscript coincides or describes the illus- trations and photographs correctly. We are putting : the pressure on these and you should have the illus- S trations pretty well complete within the next few weeks. To make the November 15 date it means, too, that you will have to give the proof reading very prompt attention. 7 One other detail which I had marked as 3 unfinished was the permission for the Braley poems. What is the situation as far as this is concerned? With kindest regards, Sincerely yours, CW : MK eae: eGR Rr ec ee ee rts
