Atlanta14, Georgia

Dear Sir:

          I am in the final stages of doing a book of interviews with various Negro leaders (including James Forman and Stokely Carmichael) to be published this winter by Random House, Inc.  In the book I wish to quote a letter by Clarence H. Graham, a student at Rock Hill College, S.C., to his mother and father.  I first bevame (became) acquainted with the letter in an unpublished dissertation by Tom Rose, a copy of which Stokely Carmichael gave me.  When I applied for formal permission to reprint, to Mr (Mr.) Rose, he wrote that he had taken the letter from your Student Voice, one of the early issues, and that I should address myself to you.

          Can you give me permission to reprint the letter?  If there is a fee, what is the amount?

          Since the time for going to press approavhes, (approaches), I should be grateful for an earlt (early) reply.

          Very sincerely yours,

          Robert Penn Warren
