Toluca, Sept. 16, 1921.

My dear Lexington:-

I have your letters of the 5th and 7th inst.

I forwarded to you some days after you left two letters from
Cleveland University and one from Cleveland, directing them to the
University, and writing on the envelope "Hold till called for."

Enclosed herewith a letter from the University and one from
The Brownies Book; these I took out of the envelopes in order to
enclose with this. Received from Cleveland, from Frederick D. Co-
Coy a book "Nineteenth Century English Prose"; if you desire this
forwarded, please advise.

Enclosed herewith draft No. 1550, in amount of $ 1.04,
and 1551, 5.25, issued by the Cleveland Trust Company on the National Bank of Commerce, New York City, which I have endorsed to you.

What is left over after paying your preliminary expenses you
may deposit in the bank, in my name, and I will instruct the bank
to honor your checks on same.

You do not want to spend any more money than is absolutely
necessary, as you may consider yourself lucky if I succeed in getting
enough to pay your first year there.

Affectionately,

My dear Langston:-

I arrived from the ranch Wednesday evening and found
awaiting your two telegrams about not receiving the money.
The same night Mr. Danley wired his wife in Brooklyn

to deliver to you at the University $250.00.

On Sept. 17 I sent you by registered mail a letter
containing, Draft No. 1550, - $1.04

" No. 1551, - 532.57, issued by the Cleveland Trust Company, on the National Bank of Commerce, New York, payable to my order and endorsed by me to you (Langston Hughes) and the letter was directed to "181 West 135th St., room 402, which was the direction given in your letter. I cannot understand why you did not receive it in due time. Will write the bank in Cleveland to issue duplicates and send direct to you. When you receive these drafts, return to Mrs. R. J. M. Danley, 129 Columbia Heights, Brooklyn, the $250.00, and deposit the balance as directed in my letter.

I cannot understand why you have not written since
your letter dated Sept. 7th.

If the Cleveland Trust Company should issue duplicate drafts
and send to you as I have requested them to do, and before
you receive them you get the originals, these duplicates you
should turn into the Bank in New York or return to the
Cleveland Trust Co.

Gentlemen:-

Referring to your letter of the 12th ult. with reference to the drafts which went astray; be so say that this morning I received the return of the letter containing these drafts, the party not having been found at the address to which the letter was directed in New York.

It is not now necessary to issue duplicate of these drafts, but if you have already done so and forwarded them, I have instructed my son to return them to you.

Yours respectfully,

Affectionately your father,

111 Hartley Hall,
Columbia University,
My dear Lansdon:-

The letter with the drafts was returned, having received it from the correos this morning; you will note that the address was not right, I thought I remembered it and did not take time to look for the address on your letter. Take a lesson from this and always be sure as to what you are doing; this mistake has caused an expense of more or less 25 pesos, besides the anxiety and trouble occasioned.

If you have received duplicates of these drafts and collected them, please return these to the Cleveland Trust Co., as I am writing the Trust Co. that it is not now necessary to issue duplicates.

Return to Mrs. Danley the $250 and the $100 to Mr. Fossiter, and render me an exact account of what you have spent and what is left over, and do not spend any more than is necessary, as my money is about exhausted and have no income.

Muy Sres. nuestros:-

Juzgamos propicio el momento para dirigirnos a Uds. con el objeto de establecer relaciones de mútuo provecho y brindarles nuestro concurso y el fruto de nuestra vasta experiencia en el ramo del acero, para hacer frente a la demanda sin precedentes que se aproxima.

El mercado del acero presenta actualmente una situación muy favorable al comprador. A raíz de firmarse el Armisticio, las existencias de acero en todo el mundo estaban completamente agotadas; las acererías estaban escasas de órdenes y todos estabanos ansiosos de aceptar pedidos a precios inferiores a los del mercado. Sin embargo, los pedidos no llegaban. Todos los compradores se mantenían en una actitud de espera, aguardando a que los precios llegaran a su nivel más bajo posible.

Este nivel llegó repentinamente y entonces se despertó una demanda inusitada, a tal extremo que los precios alcanzaron límites sin precedentes, aun superiores a aquellos que rigieron durante el periodo de la guerra y en que la escasez de acero era más aguda. Intensa como ha sido la demanda, los trabajos de reconstrucción no se han llevado a cabo sino en una escala muy limitada en relación con las necesidades mundiales y se aproxima, por consiguiente, una demanda sin precedentes en la historia de la industria.

La demanda existe, imperiosa y en una escala gigantesca. Las condiciones reinantes, sin embargo, ejercen una poderosa influencia en la situación y mantienen el mercado en un estado de depresión. La ley de la demanda y la oferta aun rige nuestro sistema económico.

La hora psicológica para comprar es la presente. El momento propicio para obtener la ventaja de los precios bajos es el actual. En vez de una demanda abrumadora, se despertará una demanda normal y constante y los precios reaccionarán, pero nunca alcanzarán niveles tan altos como en el pasado.

Nos permitimos aconsejar a Uds. seriamente que se aprovechen de la situación actual. El acero lo necesitarán Uds. tarde o temprano, y mientras más temprano compren, mayor será la economía que obtendrán.

Dear Friend:-

We have not yet gotten back to our
schedule in the mailing of the CRISIS magazine -
so much did the printers' strike disturb our
routine. That explains the delay which you ex-
perienced in receiving your January issue,
which was mailed from our office last week.
You have already noted that the CRISIS has been
enlarged to sixty-four pages and cover and the
price has been increased to Fifteen Cents per
copy, One Dollar and a Half per year(Foreign, $1.75).
I hope you are pleased with the CRISIS in its
new form.

I note that your subscription expires
with this issue and so I am writing at this time
to urge your renewal. The enclosed blue blank
may be of service to you in that connection.

Thanking you for your interest in the
CRISIS and with every good wish, I am,

Very truly yours,

P. S. DU BOIS AND DILL, PUBLISHERS, at 2 West
13th Street, New York, N. Y., have the pleasure

Cap Haitien, Haiti,

June 30, 1931.

Dear Father,

I was most happy to have your letter, as well as the book
which you sent me. It was good to have direct news of you.
Some years ago I wrote you, c/o Mr the American Consulate
in Mexico City, but the letter finally came back. I saw
Aunt Sallie in Indianapolis (1716 Blvd. Place) a few years
back, and I hear from her occasionally. She always asks
about you, and I know she would be glad to hear from you,
if you wanted to write her.....I was interested in what you
had to say about my novel. It had a great critical success,
the reviews in both the English and American press being al-
most uniformly good. The sales exceeded those of the average
first novel, my January first statement showing a sale of some
five thousand copies for the first five months of publication.
It was published in Moscow this spring, and will probably ap-
pear in Paris in the fall as the French translation rights
have been sold......In one way or another, directly or indi-
rectly, enough money has come to me from my books to live,
but to make a good steady income from literature takes a long
time, as one must slowly build up a buying public, or else
sell a great deal to the magazines, or the movies.....I am
certainly sorry to hear that you have had such a difficult
time with your health, and I wish that something could be
done about it. I was sorry I couldn't come to you that time
when you first became ill, but I wanted to make my own way

in the world—which has proven quite exciting, although I have
nothing to show for it except three books and practically no money.
I have travelled quite a lot, however—as you advised me. Last
March I started on a trip through the West Indies with another fel-
low, but so far, we have gotten no farther than Haiti, where we have
been for two months here in the shadow of the Citadel built by the
black king Christophe. Twenty miles away on a mountain top, it stands
a magnificent ruin, the grandest thing in Haiti—for the people to-
day are asleep in the sun. The Marines are here, and all the money
goes into white pockets....The news which you give me of Mexico is
very interesting. Miguel Covarrubias, the Mexican artist, is a good
friend of mine in New York, and he tells me, too, of the progress
which the country is making...I would like very much to read that
book on the American Negro. You must send it to me when I get back
to the States in August. Please do not destroy the books you say
you do not want, as I would like to have them.....Have you seen the
magazine OPPORTUNITY, and a new one called ABBOTTS MONTHLY, publish-
ed by the man who owns the *Chicago Defender*? They are both interest-
ing, and I will send you copies when I get back, also any other books
or papers which you feel you would like to have. You must have a
great deal of time on your hands now to read, so if there is anything
from the States you want, let me know....You ask me several questions
I can't answer. I don't know about Dr. Sweet. The Binga Bank, it
seems, went down in the general crash with hundreds of other small
banks in the country caught in the depression—frozen assets, etc.
When I left the States the papers said a reorganization was on foot.
The DuBois-Cullen match seemed to have been a marriage without love,
the two concerned not being very friendly on the day of the wedding,
so they probably had little intention of living together long. No
one in New York knows why they married, x, unless pressure had been
brought to bear on the part of one or the other of the parents as
the engagement had been so long announced.....Rhinelander married
Alice, knowing her to be the daughter of a colored coachman. His
parents forced a separation. There were counter-divorce suits.
She came out best, receiving a large settlement of money.....Do you
know the Murray's in Mexico City, a colored family from New York?
Mrs. Murray is the sister-in-law of Walter White, head of the N. A.
A. C. P. She was in New York on a visit just before I left.....I
have been in Havana twice in the last two years. My poems are well
known there, many of them having been translated in their magazines
and papers. Am enclosing a clipping.....Give my love to the Patiños,
and write to me whenever you have the time. You can always reach
me c/o of my publishers, Alfred A. Knopf, Inc., 730 Fifth Avenue,
New York. That is the best address. If I make a lot of money
from my next book I will come down and see you.....Thanks for all
the good advice. I'm sure you're right.

Affectionately,

Will send later.

Left in Port au Prine.
