Mr. Sam Allen,
American Express,
649 Fifth Avenue,
New York City.

Dear Mr. Allen:

Two bits of information for you: I've just received a letter from Alston Anderson, enclosing a very good short story—the first of his work I'd seen. He says he's in residence for the winter at this writer's hostel:

Yadde,
Saratoga Springs,
New York.

You may write him there. It's a nice place where I've spent two summers writing.

The other thing is that Mr. Jahn has been in correspondence with:

Miss Miriam G. Koshland,
731 - 43rd Avenue,
San Francisco 21,
California

so she tells me, having informed her of your proposed translation of her anthology. Miss Koshland has compiled and translated into English already a big manuscript of Negro poetry from various parts of the world, so far unpublished, so she wrote me asking for your address, which I've just sent her.

I hope you're finding your return to the U. S. A. pleasant—and not too cold! And I trust I shall have the pleasure of meeting you while you are in New York.

With all good wishes,
