Mrs. Minnie M. Finch
Librarian
Albany State College
Albany, Georgia

Dear Mrs. Finch:

Because Mr. Hughes is away completing
a long overdue writing assignment, I am
relying to your letter of March 3rd in his
behalf.

Mr. Hughes will not be able to
accept your kind offer to serve as your
National Library Week speaker because he
will be enroute to Europe where he will
participate in a series of seminars under
the auspices of USIS.

I know that Mr. Hughes will be
sorry that he cannot accept this engagement
when he learns of it upon his return to the
city. But, I know that he will be pleased
that you thought of him.
