Dear Sonia,

I am sending you the material for mimeographing – all for the Summer School & the Fall course. So, could you have a big number of copies made?

I am sending you at the same time, in one of the two packets of the stuff, a handwritten Contents sheet as a guide. This should not be typed. It merely shows that I have arranged the stuff in ‘volumes’: 1–7.

There is an Introductory Note which goes separately – marked ‘To be done separately: no volume one.’ Then follows vol. 1 – The Wisdom of Africa … etc. Some volumes have a single essay, others have a number of essays. The Contents sheet indicates e.g for Vol. 2. three essays. Two are extracts from a book Race & Colour etc which I'm trying to Photostat or the whole book with the extracts indicated, plus Essay 3.

Where a volume has more than one essay, these should be pinned or stapled together to look like a single volume. The vol. no. indicated, and the pages should be numbered progressively, so that each essay does not have pages 1 – n.

The titles of the volume are all indicated on the Contents guide i.e the general title for the volume plus the titles of the individual essays.

Apart from the Race & Colour book that I have (for vol. 2), the paperback edition of Senghor: Prose & Poetry is the only book I am sending. All the other material comes from the journal Africa Today (orange cover), typescripts and off prints. All indicated in the Contents guide.

Footnotes: Footnotes in Senghor should appear

Footnotes in Africa Today should appear

Footnotes in typescripts should appear

Footnotes in Race & Colour should appear

and therefore index nos. not.

I do hope sincerely there will be good enough time for all this to be done by the Summer. We are of course needless to say all anxious to be back in Denver. Are you laying on a big party? All we are waiting with trepidation for are an order from Washington for visas to be given us, so keep your fingers crossed.
