[pre-printed letterhead] EDITORIAL ROOMS OF THE CRISIS 69 FIFTH AVENUE.. NEW YORK, N.Y. NATIONAL ASSOCIATION FOR THE ADVANCEMENT OF COLORED PEOPLE W. E. BURGHARDT DU BOIS

Mr. Norman Leys. 
Brailsford, Nr. Derby, 
England.

October 20, 1925.

My dear Mr. Leys:

I am afraid your publisher is spoofing you. No copy of “Kenya’ has been received by The Crisis magazine. However I have borrowed a copy from a friend and I am going to review it in a near number. I have nearly finished reading it and am greatly impressed by its importance and the hard work which you have done to gather the material. I do not know that you can hope for a very large circulation of the book in the United States, English books are so very costly. Nevertheless I will give it such publicity as I can and certainly some sales ought to result.

Very sincerely yours, | W E B du Bois [signature]
