17 x 26 cm. On plain beige stationery. Return address 41 Grand View Blvd. Tuckahoe 7, New York, NY. No pamphlet or envelope present to identify the recipient. Text: I have read the pamphlet and I find it quite stimulating. You do command a certain strength with your words but I believe that you are holdiong back what is truly in your heart when you commit pen to paper. Criticism is not one of my strong points. You may have a better chance of sending it to a publishing house such as Johnson Publishing Co. in Chicago. Mr. John Johnson you will find is a very fair judge of grammatical structure. Remember: in order for a writer to succeed I suggest three things -- read and write -- and wait. With every good wish, believe me, Yours sincerely, [Signed] Countee Cullen.".
