Dr. W. E. B. DuBois, Editor The Crisis, 69 Fifth Avenue, New York City.
My dear Dr. DuBois,

As I said in a previous letter that I would, I enclose you herewith a copy of a story which you may be able to use for the CRISIS. It is in my earlier manner, but I think has a thread of interest which might be interesting to your readers.

Perhaps it is too long for one number, in which event you could divide it at a convenient point, the middle of page fifteen would be a dramatic point at which to make the division, but if that is n't consistent with the makeup of the good magazine, you can probably find one equally as good.

If you do not find the story available, kindly return it, and I will look up another one.

Yours very truly, Chas W. Chesnutt. CWC:WEnc.
