Dear Mr. Emanuel:
In view of the terrible
fact of Langston Hughes
death, do you feel that there is a particular chapter or
portion of your forthcoming book which would lend itself to
excerpt in NEGRO DIGEST? I am thinking of the Poetry Issue,
which will be dedicated to Langston Hughes.
It is so fortunate that
your book is ready at this time. Did Langston have the
opportunity of seeing it?
Please let me have your
reaction to the above at your earliest convenience.
Very truly yours,

Letter from Hoyt Fuller
![Cédric BRUT, 1 April 2004 02-
(1973) has my essay "Christ in Alabama: Religion
in the Poetry of Langston Hughes."
Hughes told me that his ambition was "to il—
luminate the condition of the Negro in America."
He put the voice of his people, their tones,
accents, and phrases into his works; and that
mixture includes "language jazzistique".
I wrote this letter in a hurry, necessarily,
and I hope that it helps you a little. Good luck
with your present and future projects.
Sincerely,
[signature - J Emanuel]](https://cuny.manifoldapp.org/system/resource/0/b/c/0bcc5ddd-a24e-4213-99ab-ece29f98fd58/attachment/f464467b879d95c859aeee90647f8b3c.jpg)
