Dear Miss Lieper:

The enclosed form of release for the "Writers of Today" series has been worked out by our attorney and the attorney for the Educational Television and Radio Center. If you approve, would you please pass it on to Langston Hughes, asking him to sign it and return it direct to Ann Arbor.

His interview went very well, and the boys at the studio are delighted with the quality of the film.

Many thanks to you for your help in arranging this.

Sincerely yours,

Charles G. Bolte

New York 36, New York.

Dear Mr. Bolte,

What ever happened to our TV film WRITERS OF
TODAY interview? Not having heard hair nor
hide of it for months, I'm just wondering.
I was in Ann Arbor recently to close the
University of Michigan's summer series on THE
CONTRIBUTIONS OF THE NEGRO TO AMERICAN CULTURE
but didn't remember at the time that the
Educational TV and Radio Center was located
there, or I would have inquired about it.
