User-Contributed Transcription [newspaper clipping: Willard Motley, Chicago's prize-winning
author, writes from Mexico that he plans to return
here next month to introduce his pals to the 11-year-
old Mexican lad he is adopting. The youngster was a
street urchin when Motley found him.
Pops, why do the man
put quotes around
"adopting"? Ah
doesn't understand
the meaning of
this - but am
terrible suspicious.
He wont be a
"street urchin"
long, Jim. Not
unless they
change the
name - That
aint what they
used to call it!
[newspaper clipping: People's writers are needed.
Writing is not mysterious. We have
the content - struggle. You can
learn the form. I can help you
6 mo. personal help $25 or $5 a
month. Meridel Le Sueur, Box 3190,
St. Paul, Minn.
You too can be
a Peoples Writer
and earn Easy
money.
