I deposited October 1st your check of that date to cover your note for $100.00 and interest which was due September 15th, and as I have heard nothing to the contrary, I presume the check went through and was paid and I beg to thank you. I enclose you herewith the note with certificate of protest.2
I note what you say about my taking some of your gold notes. Since under my royalty contract with Houghton-Mifflin Company I have to pay them part of the money I get from you through these notes, and as I have some pressing obligations of my own to meet here, I am not in a position just now to take any part of the $500.00 in your gold notes, much as I might feel disposed to do so.
I will send forward in due course the note for $100.00 due October 15th and trust it will be promptly made.
I will be very glad at some time when you may wish it, to atempt to write you a story for a scenario.
Very truly yours,Correspondent: Swan Emerson Micheaux (1896–1975) was Oscar Micheaux's younger brother and served as secretary, treasurer, and booking manager of the Micheaux Film Corporation from 1920 to 1927. He was suspected of financial mismanagement and forced to resign in 1928.
