Letter to Jim from Gwendolyn Brooks

Resource added
February 22, 1971 Dear Jim, I appreciated so much your taking the time to write me about this new job (which I have accepted.) Your letter illuminated a good deal (Open Admissions, etc. ) Now I shall be able to get acquainted with you. I thought I was truly through with teaching. But now I look forward with some pleasure and curiosity to September. Thank you for extending what I consider kindly assistance. Sincerely , [signature - Gwen] Although I also appreciate your mention of an accommodation in your home, I certainly have to reject that. I'll manage! I was glad to have a second copy (!) of the vigorous PANTHER MAN (delectable title), and I am sending to you a copy of my own just—out "Family Pictures." ______Yes! The anthologies are developing. JUMP BAD may be out within a month.
