James Green expresses keen interest in the large collection of Alice and Paul Laurence Dunbar papers held by the recipient. They acknowledge the potential fit of the collection in several libraries, such as the Ohio Historical Society, New York Public Library's Schomberg Center for Research in Black Culture, and Howard University Library. However, they regret their university's limited specialization in Black writers and inability to raise sufficient funds for purchase. They emphasize the importance of making these papers available to scholars and students for enhancing biographical and critical research on Dunbar and his wife.
Laurence T. Young expressed amazement to Pauline Young in this letter, at the extensive correspondence dating from 1973 to 1976, highlighting Pauline's remarkable dedication to a seemingly futile matter. The letter questioned the specifics of an agreement regarding the "Dunbar letters" and whether Pauline was the sole possessor. It suggested that without clear details on handling, distribution, publication, or compensation, there was no apparent legal basis for action. The letter discouraged legal involvement due to limited profitability and potential debt. It mentioned the return of papers and inquired about a "JANE ADDAMS" letter. The author planned to meet Pauline in Wilmington after the New York Convention and mentioned sending a check to support a Links convention in Seattle. The letter ended with well wishes.
