D.C. Eric Lincoln, Pres.
Black Academy of Arts and Letters
New York N.Y.

Dear Eric:

I am enclosing a check for $100.00 as a contribution to B.A.A.L.  Please use it purposefully, such as possibly adding it to the down-payment fund for the purchase of the Langston Hughes house, or any other way which you feel it can be most useful to B.A.A.L. and its program.  I only wish I could send more at this time.

Since I could enter only work(s) of art of my own to the auction which is planned, I feel it would not be appropriate to do so.  I shall talk to you on the phone immediately to give you the reason which, I am sure, you will agree to in substance.  The enclosed check might be considered as my offer to the auction list.

Best wishes to you in all things.
Very Cordially,
Hale Woodruff
