Gentlemen:

In reply to your letter of April 20th regarding gym and basketball
shoes for men and women, we wish to advise that we have nothing
which we are able to offer. Our company is not manufacturing a
canvas shoe with rubber sole of any type, neither for sport or for
athletic use or everyday weare So far as we know now there are no
plans being discussed for their manufacture for the duration of
the war. We are sorry we will have to disappoint you until such
a time as their manufacture canbe resumed or until materials and
machinery and man power are made available for that purpose.

Very truly yours,

Sfx.
