TEACHERS APPOINTMENT BUREAU _ May 12, 1941 Dr. F. C. Ablen, Chairman Physical Education Department 105 Robinson Gym Dear Dr. Allen: You will recall that we agreed to share the expense of publishing the folder for the boys in physical education. The expense involved was as follows: Printing 1500 six page folders $19.10 Addressing envelopes 80 Postage 18.00 Total 37.90 One half of this will amount to $18.95. Last week Miss Hoover called me to say that it had been decided not to publish the folder for the girls since it was late in the season and also because of the rush at the journalism press and the impossibility of getting it out very soon. She felt that we should reimburse the girls for the cost of the cuts and I told her I would take care of half of it. I am sending you a transfer check for $2.13 since I believe she said the total cost of the cuts was $4.25.
