ROSEMARY HALL

GREENWICH, CONNECTICUT

My dear Mr. Cerf:

          Rosemary Hall School is having Robert Penn Warren as the second of three Butler Lecturers.  He comes to us the last of January for three days.

          In preparing for his coming, I have just finished his latest book, Who Speaks for the Negro, published by Random House, and bought by our school library.

          In it I find the following four misprints (a fact which will prevent me from buying a copy):

Corrected in Vintage                          not corrected in 2^nd trade edition

1        p. 69, L 20                               Sterto type

2        p. 268 L 21                              Neg_o

3        p. 323 L 13                              I think there roles …..

4        p. 338 L 18                              …not from simply jealously…

                                                                   (over)

          Has copy reading at Random House reached such a state that all editions of this book (ours is a first) will perpetuate these errors?  I trust not.

          Thank you for permitting me to bring this matter to your attention.

                                                Sincerely,

                                                Priscilla Finness Rushmore

                                                          (Mrs. Stephen)
