Mr. David R. Calhoun, Editor
\F2Britannica Yearbook of Science and the Future
Encyclopedia Britannica\F1
425 North Michigan Avenue
Chicago, Illinois 60611


Dear Mr. Calhoun:

\J	Recently, I received a brochure from Mortimer J. Adler announcing the
publication of \F2Britannica 3\F1.  This announcement reminded me of a letter
I received from you two years ago in regard to my contribution of an article
for the \F2Yearbook of Science and the Future\F1.  In that letter, you stated
that a set of the \F2Encyclopedia Britannica\F1 had been ordered for me and would
be mailed within six weeks.  I have never received the promised encyclopedia.
Since receiving the encyclopedia was one of the key motivational factors in 
my writing the article, I would appreciate your checking into what happened
and why my order was not filled.  I would be most pleased to receive your
\F2Britannica 3\F1 as fulfillment of the obligation.\.

\J	Thank-you for your attention to this matter.\.


							Sincerely,


							John McCarthy
