Dear Mr. Allens:

Please pardon the delay in acknowledging your
Letter of December SO0th which has just come to my atten-
tion. ,

Of course, it was a very stupid error on the
part of one of our billing clerks not to realize that you
are the author of BETTER BASKETBALL and should be allowed
your usual discount of 40 per cent. We have a great many
new employees and as such they are not completely familiar
with many of the details and exceptions to authors on or-
ders for their own books. However, we have called this
matter to their attention and trust you will bear with us.

We have adjusted and allowed 40 per cent on your
order of December 8th, our invoice #22232,and our corrected
statement is enclosed herewith.

Concerning the previous charge for five copies of
your book ordered on April g£6th, that too was incorrectly LY
billed, but in the final analysis the charge should also pO:
have been $12.00 plus carriage. Your check for $10.52,
therefore, left a balance of $1.38 due us but in view of the
circumstances, we are simply cancelling this small balance
and the account is now closed.

Very truly yours,

Mh csi
