Dear  Sirs:

Mr. Robert Penn Warren is writing a book to be published by Random House titled Who Speaks for the Negro?  He has had many interviews and unfortunately a name on one of the tapes is unclear.

Could you let us know who it was who worked with Ronnie Moore in West Feliciana Parish, St. Francisville in 1963, and get the Reverend Joe Carter to register.  We know the last name is Livermore, but it is difficult to tell whether the first name is Ruby or Ludie.

We very much appreciate your help with this.

                                                          Sincerely yours,

                                                          (Mrs.) Nan A. Talese
