Mr. Chas. W. Chesnutt, 1105 Williamson Building, Cleveland, Ohio.
Dear Sir:

I beg to acknowledge receipt of your letter of February 7th, as well as a copy of "The Marrow of Tradition", for which I thank you.

I will return same to you at the earliest possible moment.

Having been continually on the go I have not had the opportunity to read same but I expect to do so before the week is over. My only reason for asking for this book was because I was told that it was a good story which would possibly lend itself for the making of a motion picture.

It is quite likely that I will be in Cleveland some time during this week, maybe Sunday, and as I only expect to stay a few hours, would you be good enough to advise me whether I could reach you on Sunday, should you desire me to do so.

Thanking you for your courtesy and assuring you that your book will be given thorough consideration, I am

Very truly yours, Robert Levy ROBERT LEVY. RL/en
