“It was news to me that one of my poems had been used in E. V. Lucus’ anthology”

African-American poet (1903–1946) who came to prominence during the Harlem Renaissance. TLS, one page, 5.5 x 8.5, Opportunity Journal of Negro Life letterhead, January 30, 1928. Letter to a collector. In part: “It was news to me that one of my poems had been used in E. V. Lucus’ anthology, but it is an honor concerning which I am glad to hear. I have secured and am sending to you Mr. Jones’ autograph. Mr. Langston Hughes can be addressed at Lincoln University, Lincoln, Pa. I could send you his autograph from one of his letters to me, but I am certain that he would be perfectly willing to let you have it himself.” In fine condition, with uniform light toning.
