Bodenheim, Maxwell |
The first letter to Mr. Bodenheim, 22 Sep 1948, from Mrs. C.A. Pollard requesting permission to include his two poems, Negroes and Poem to Negroes and Whites in the anthology compiled by Arna Bontemps and Langston Hughes. Bodenheim’s signature at the bottom of the letter indicates he’s given his permission for the inclusion of these poems in this book of modern Negro poetry. Letter to Mrs. Pollard dated 20 Sep [ ] in response to her request to use his two poems in the anthology. The third letter to Mrs. Pollard, 26 Sep [ ], is a signed contract by Bodenheim granting permission for the inclusion of the aforementioned poems in the anthology. The last letter to Mrs. Pollard, 4 Oct 1948, regards Bodenheim’s withdrawal of permission for the publication of the poems, Negroes and Poem to Negroes and Whites, because of the refusal of her firm to make immediate payment for permission. |

The February 25, 1971 letter agrees to help Untermeyer sponsor a poet named Stanley. The last two letters are undated. The first one discusses Gregory’s new anthology The Silver Swan . The second discusses Gregory’s career as an author and asks Untermeyer’s advice on helping Gregory’s wife publish her poetry |
