TLS, one page, 8.5 x 11, May 18, 1927. Hughes agrees to a speaking engagement. In part: “As I said in my last letter to you, it is rather difficult to find a large number of people interested in poetry. Often audiences come expecting ‘dramatic’ readings or something more exciting than they get, for that reason I objected to the pay audience. But if it will help cover expenses—all right. I don’t mind it myself as I’ve given readings of that sort often enough before. And people come to hear me, whether they are amused or not.” In very good condition, with intersecting folds, one through a single letter of signature, creasing to upper portion, some light carbon lines, and a mild shade of toning.
