The letter, dated October 23, 1973, addresses Ms. Andrea D. Lentz regarding the Paul Laurence Dunbar and Alice Dunbar Nelson papers. It highlights that the agreement signed by Miss Young was modified from a gift to a loan, allowing single-copy reproductions but not the sale of entire microfilm sets. Miss Young believes she is entitled to half the earnings from the microfilm sales, and the matter is recommended to be submitted to the Society's Director for consideration.

The Wilmington Public Library pays tribute to the enduring story of Paul and Alice Dunbar, prominent black poets and civic leaders, through a collection of pictures, letters, and poetry. Their story is one of love, devotion, and partnership, as well as frustration, disagreement, and estrangement. Despite their separation and Paul Laurence Dunbar's passing in 1906, Alice Dunbar-Nelson continued to be associated with her poet husband. On April 2, the library dedicates National Book Week to their memory, with a talk by Pauline A. Young, Alice Dunbar-Nelson's niece, and a reception in her honor.
