7Mti?n/ Febru ary thirteenth 1930 American Society of Cinematographers, Inc., Suite 1222 Guaranty Building, Hollywood, Calif. Gentlemen: Although I greatly appreciate the compliment of being invited to write a foreword to your forthcoming book, to be called the "Cinematographic Annual," I shall have to ask you to kindly excuse me from making a favorable response. I receive numerous requests to write articles, statements, forewords, etc., but never attempt to comply for the reason that writing is entirely out of my line and I would not care to undertake it. However, it seems to me, after considering the object and scope of a book as described in the letter of your President, Mr. John F. Seitz, that the "Cinematographic Annual" will find a most useful place in the literature on the subject, and I beg to express the hope that the expectations of its sponsors may be fully realized^ Yours ve Kdi phone d-C Hi]
