I have been ill. My cancer is progressing. Today is May 22, 1967. I am home at 20E.127 St. in Harlem. Come visit me before it is too late.

I have written 16 books of poems, 2 novels, 3 collections of short stories, 20 plays, scripts and articles. I like it but I'm getting tired.

My favorite pastime is sitting in the clubs listening to blues, jazz music & writing poetry. The clubs in Harlem are the best! Go and see!

I created Simple, an interesting negro character who has plenty to say. Learn more about him in my column in the Chicago Defender Newspaper.

I am back living with my mom in DC working as a hotel busboy so I can go back to college. I have been busy writing poetry in my spare time.
