Gentlemen:

About the middle of last month I received from

you Drafts: No. 1550, - $ 1.04
          1551, - 532,87, against the National

bank of Commerce, New York, payable to my order, and endor-
sed by me to Langston Hughes and sent to him in New York.
Up to the 4th inst. he had not received these drafts, and
probably they have been lost in the mail.

I would thank you very much if you would issue
duplicates of these drafts and send direct to

Langston Hughes,
Columbia University,
New York City.

I will instruct him that if, in the meantime the originals
turn up, to return the duplicates to you or to turn them in-
to the bank in New York.

Thanking you in advance, I remain,

Very respectfully,

Toluca, October 13, 1921.

Mr. C. L. Rossiter,
30 Vesey Street,
New York.

Dear Sir:-

I have just received a letter from my son, Lexington Hushes who is a student at Columbia University, enough in which he says that you were kind to loan him one hundred dollars. On September 17th I sent him a letter containing drafts aggregating some thing over $500, and up to the 6th of the present month he says it has not been received. I have asked the bank (The Cleveland Trust Company, Cleveland Ohio), to issue duplicate drafts and send direct to him, and when received he will return to you the amount of the loan.

I thank you very much for your kindness in
the matter, and remain,

Very respectfully,

Toluca, Oct. 27, 1921.

Mr. R. J. M. Danley,
Apartado No. 818,

Dear Sir:-

I have your letter of yesterday, enclosing copies of
correspondence from Mr. Rosaiter.

On Oct. 18 I wrote Mr. Rosaiter as follows:

"I have just received a letter from my son, Langston
Hushe, who is a student at Columbia University, in
which he says that you were kind enough to loan him
one hundred dollars. On September 17 I sent him a
letter containing drafts aggregating something over
$500, and up to the 6th of the present month he says
it has not been received. I have asked the bank
(The Cleveland Trust Company, Cleveland, Ohio), to
issue duplicate drafts and send direct to him, and when
received he will return to you the amount of the loan.
I thank you very much for your kindness in the matter,
an remain, very respectfully."

I enclose herewith a letter received from the Cleve-
land Trust Company, under date of Oct. 18, which is self ex-
planatory.

Also received a letter from Langston dated Oct. 10,
stating that he had received the $250 from Mrs. Danley, and
up to this time he had not received those drafts.

How is the San Simonito matter coming on? It ap-
pears that Lic. Bellina has had time enough to consult with
Lic. Castillo as to what he desires in the matter.

Very respectfully,

Enclosed herewith the copies which accompanied your
letters.

My dear Sir

I am sorry to have been delayed in replying
to your letter of February 20 in regard to your son.
I have made inquiry concerning him and have made a care-
ful scrutiny of his record. He is doing his College work
admirably and seems to be making the most of his opportun-
ities here at the University. I cannot say that it is
yet certain as to what field he will finally decide to
devote himself specially. I am inclined to think it
would be better not to hurry him but to give him at any
rate a few more months before urging a decision. I shall
be glad to take the matter up with him a little bit later.

show him or any interest which I may have in
him.

I had him at dinner at the Civic Club
some time ago and at the same table and in
the same party with us was Edwin Markham,
the poet whose "The Man with the Hoe" is so
well known. He is a man well along in years
and his white head of hair marks him in any
crowd. I spoke to him about Langston and told
him of some of Langston's verses. He was
greatly interested and said he would like to
meet the young man. It was my pleasure to
introduce them and there was a pleasant meeting
between them. I am glad that I have been
able to bring the young chap to the personal
attention of personal acquaintances of mine
and some very interesting people. He deserves
that and more-for he has held himself in a
mighty fine way.

I am speaking frankly in this letter
to you because I want you to know that the
boy is doing well and is worth all that any
of us can do for him. I want you to feel
encouraged and pleased with him.

With every good wish, I am,

AGD/HFB.
