Scope and Contents

Douglass submitted a number of his poems to the publisher Walter Neale of New York. Douglass and Neale could not agree on terms of publishing--Douglass wanted more money; Neale wanted better poems. No agreement was reached. This correspondence, dated late in 1928, tells of their negotiations. The poems submitted by Douglass are included.
