Description
-
Correspondence between James Baldwin and Rosenwald Fund staff, including Dorothy A. Elvidge and Hilde Reitzes, as well as with recommenders and supporters like Robert Warshow, Managing Editor of Commentary magazine. This file documents the fellowship application of James Baldwin, beginning with his work history, portrait, and plan of work for a novel. His application was supported by a recommendation from Robert Warshow, who praised his work The Harlem Ghetto, and confidential reports from Beuford DeLaney, Thomas Martin, Bucklin Moon, Isaac Rosenfeld, and Henrietta Weigel. The record includes his letter of acceptance for a 2,000 dollars grant and subsequent administrative correspondence, notably a letter from Dorothy A. Elvidge. This letter encloses a 666 dollars payment for the first three months of the fellowship, notifies him of the Fund's impending closure on June 30th, and directs him to Mr. Nathan W. Levin for future payments.
