Mr. Charles W. Chesnutt, 1646 Union Trust Building, Cleveland, Ohio.
My dear Mr. Chesnutt:

I am writing to ask if you will serve as judge of the short stories under our Second Amy Spingarn Contest. After much reading, seven (7) manuscripts have been selected for final judgement. These manuscripts I am enclosing with this letter and we shall consider ourselves greatly honored if you will serve as judge.

Very sincerely yours, WEBD/DW Enc. 7.
