Dear Dr. Allen:

Mr. Gartner has turned over to me your letter to
him of September 25th because he knew that I was “fixin"
to write you about the very thing that is giving you some
cause for worry, nemely, the fact that you will have
galley proofs for examination, but will not have available
for comparison with the text, the engraver's proofs of the
engravings that are being made from the photographs and
the line drawings. I am glad to tell you that I have a
suggestion to offer which I am sure will work out satis-
factorily because it has in other instances.

Now in so far as is concerned the proofs of the
engravings being made from the photographs, I am glad to
say that most of these, practically all of them in fact,
are ready, but I am sorry to say that we are not at all
surprised at the quality of the engravings as shown by
the proofs submitted by the engraver. Nevertheless we
are not going to let this interfere with the work. I
have asked Mr. Gartner to rush to you as promptly as
possible, one set of proofs of these half tone illustra-
tions which will be in the form of cut dummies. ‘The photo-
graphs will not be sent with these proofs because we want
to return the photographs to the engraver with a second set
of proofs so that he will see wherein he has failed to make
good reproductions, and improve the engravings either by ad-
ditional etching, or by the making of entirely new engravings.

Now in so far as is concerned the tracings of the
diagrams, you have already returned the first seventeen, and.
another sixteen are going forward to you today. If the
illustration department keeps the promise made to us, the.
balance of these will go forward to you tomorrow.

When you receive these tracings, I suggest that
