Mr. Charles W. ChestnuttChesnutt, 9719 Lamont Avenue, Cleveland, Ohio.
My dear Mr. ChestnuttChesnutt:

Will you act as one of the judges in the Crisis Fiction Contest? We will read over the bulk of the stories submitted and send you about a half dozen or fewer of the best for your judgement. I trust you will be able to do this.

Again, you promised to look among your manuscripts and pick us out a story for publication in The Crisis. Will you do this at your earliest convenience? I shall appreciate it.

Very sincerely yours, W.E.B. Du Bois WEBD/PF
