Mr. Charles W. Chesnutt, 1106 Wiliamson Building, Cleveland, Ohio.
Dear Mr. Chesnutt:

Thank you for keping me informed of the motion picture situation. The motion picture industry is now in the doldrums, and I am not at all surprised to hear that the Micheaux Film Corporation has asked for an extension. I am not counting my chickens before they are hatched, but hope that these two eggs will eventually incubate.

Very truly yours, Manager, Syndicate Bureau. WBP/G 1000 150 $6000.00 NOTE Reverse side of Frame #187...March 10, 1922 letter from Houghton Mifflin Co to Chesnutt.
