Attention Mr. Oscar Micheaux
Gentlemen:

What progress are you making with the production of my "The House Behind the Cedars?" I have been patiently awaiting payment of your last note for $100.00, which, according to the terms of our contract is long overdue. I appreciate what you say in your letter of October 7, 1922, with reference to the difficulty and expensiveness of the task, but hope you have been able to get it to the point where you are able to take care of this note.

Kindly let me hear from you.

Yours very truly, CWC/FL
