Dear Coach Allen:

We are enclosing one of the first copies of the souvenir
booklet describing the Golden Jubilee of Basketball which
will take place this year. It tells the story of what we
plan to do and how we hope to do it.

The Naismith Memorial and Hall of Fame will serve as a
great boon to the sport and will help to make this year one
of the most important in basketball history.

The national publicity on the entire campaign will not
break until mid-October and we enlist your cooperation in
this matter.

Thanks for your grand cooperation and please call upon
us if there is any further information you want or if we can
help you in any waye

Very sincerely yours,

Ws
