From Julian Bond to John Goodbody, 1 Oct 1968

October 1, 1968

Dear Mr. Goodbody,

Thank you for your kind letter.

I used to consider myself a writer...I signed a contract with a publisher in 1966, received a small advance, and have never written one page.

I think I'd better refuse your kind offer with thannks.

Sincerely,

Julian Bond

Mr. John C. Goodbody, President The Seabury Press 815 Second Avenue New York, N.Y. 10017
