Allen University of Kansas Lawrence, Kansas Dear Dr. Allen: I acknowledge your letter of August 31 enclosing an order which we shall place on our unfilled order file until your book appears. I am mighty sorry to hear about your father's death. Even though one may expect it in one and of advanced years, it is always a great shock naturally a great loss. I extend my sincerest sympathy. I am in touch again with Lowe & Campbell and we will put as much speed as possible on the production of the book. I would, however, rather have it a little late than rush it and not have produced a splendid job. However, we will do everything possible. CWMs Sincerely, MK
