My dear Mr. Huebsch:

I have practically re-written the book as
you know and delivered the revision to your office. I hope
I have not kept you waiting too long.

With regard to the book quotations there
are a few omissions of references which I can eventually supply.
From my own books I have quoted very little directly although,
of course, the same substance has been used again but on the
whole I have avoided repetition even of story. The direct
quotation from my book *Black Folk: Then and Now* published by
Henry Holt and Company is not long.

With regard to the pictures, I know that
what you want is not reference as to where they can be found
but the actual pictures. I am searching the libraries and my
files and I think that within a few days I can either show you
actual photographs or tell you where they can be seen. It is
possible that in some cases they will have to be photographed
from sources which cannot be removed.

Please let me know how the whole matter of
the book stands.
