Dear Mr. Fraser,

My last presently scheduled New York City engagement is
January 27th, so I could easily change the Montreal dates
to January 31 and February 1, as suggested in your last
letter. Would you confirm these then as final?

With very best regards,

P.S. Agnes Smedley, who new book is just appearing, is
available for lectures this season, and may be
addressed here. I find her a fascinating speaker.

Dear Mr. Fraser,

I am just back from a lecture tour of the South—Kentucky, Tennessee, North Carolina, and Virginia. I hope the material I have sent you is not too late for your Bulleer. Pictures are also on the way....I don't believe I ever saw the piece you mention in SATURDAY NIGHT, so I cannot send that to you. In the NEW WORLD, Toronto, August, 1948, I had an article on THE FUTURE OF THE NEGRO....The title, THE PROBLEM OF THE WHITES is O. K....And I am glad to hear you have booked Miss Smedley. I think you will find her most interesting....With happy holiday wishes to you, I remain,

P.S. Would you advise the local bookshops of my coming in time for them to have copies of my books available, should they wish to do so?
