Notes:
2 vols., Henri Grégoire, often referred to as Abbé Grégoire, was a French Roman Catholic priest, constitutional bishop of Blois and a revolutionary leader. He was an ardent abolitionist.
The letters were written by Langston Hughes to Nicolas Guillen, the National Poet of Cuba, President of the Writers' Union, UNEAC, and a member of the Central Committee of the Cuban Communist Party. They outline one of the longest and most significant literary friendships of the 20th century.
