I have returned to my office from my vacation in Michigan, and will be very glad to autograph such books of mine as you may send to me for that purpose.1
Sincerely yours, CWC:MKCorrespondent: Harry J. Warwick (life dates unknown) was a self-professed collector of books by Black authors who approached Chesnutt to get books autographed. He and a friend, Floyd Miller, who has not been further identified, apparently collected books together. It is not known whether their books were eventually donated to an HBCU, as Warwick's first letter to Chesnutt suggested they would be.
