User-Contributed Transcription While working on your paper and asking you questions I would also like to ask you a few about Richard Wright's underlined: Native Son if I may. Your views on him would be very greatly appreciated as I have a critical study to do of the history of the criticism of his book.
Before I close my letter I would like to say I'm sorry for my poor handwriting, my typewriter is being repaired and I could wait no longer to write to you. Maybe I should also add a few things about myself. I am 37 years old, have a husband and four children and feel as if I have been going to school forever. Though we live in Southern Calif now, my home is in upper Washington state, my father being a logger most of his life. I do hope someday someone will write a good proletarian book about the logging trade and the men involved in it. It is a very colorful life and should be told before all the trees are gone and the work is a thing of the past.
I hope to hear from you, knowing the large amount of writing you do to so many people I would like to thank you for your time.

Always - Jan Knodle
