Mr Langston Hughes
20 East 127th Street
New York, N.Y.

Dear Langston:

I must in all due respect and humbly apology
ask you to forgive me of my out rageous late-
ness.

I want try to mention some of causes, but I
believe you can understand.

I want to thank you so very graciously for the
wonderful material you sent me. I am planning
on using all the material. I know you know
that my work now is well with the Youth of
our country. So when I get them in the position
I hope it will come in great need.

I hope to be in New York around October and will
surely look you up. The Revell publishing company
of Westwood New Jersey has completed my autobiography,
and titled "Gloves, Glory and God." and they
have arranged for several New York appearances, to
help sell the book.

Will send you a copy right after I receive some from
them out here by their Los Angeles, house.

So Langston my friends keep the good work up.

There are several people talking about movie
contracts about the story already. Will attempt
to get you a part to play in that. I mean in script
writing.

"JOIN THE FIGHT FOR YOUTH"
