 Charles W. Chesnutt to Elmer Adler, 25 March 1931 March 25, 1931 Transcription derived from scan of original. Western Reserve Historical Society Charles Waddell Chesnutt Papers MS 3370 1 6 Correspondence Post-Bellum, Pre-Harlem typed copy unsigned Chesnutt, Charles W. (Waddell) Adler, Elmer New York, New York Kevin McMullen proofed Laura K. Weakly review Antje Anderson annotated, made further corrections Lauren Millhorn transcribed, encoded March 25, 1931 Dear Mr. Adler:

Permit me to express to the editors of The Colophon my sincere appreciation of the very handsome dress in which my contribution was presented, and of the very flattering position it was given in the magazine. The illustration was appropriate, and suggestive, and I like the descriptive name which you gave the article.

This number is a very beautiful one, and I hope there will be many more.

A friend of mine to whom I showed the article inquired of me if it were possible to procure a copy of this number, since he is not a book collector and would therefore not be interested in getting the magazine regularly. I told him I would write and inquire if it would be possible to procure a copy, and if so, at what price. I presume the copy I received was my regular subscription number.

With regards and best wishes, Cordially yours,
Mr. Elmer Adler, Care The Colophon, 229 West 43rd Street, New York City.
