Dear Mr. Tucker:

Thank you for your letter of February 9, and for the
kind offer for me to write a novel expressing your
ideas and views on the "problem of the color line".

Unfortunately, as you may realize, I do not have the
time to do any writing of my own. My daily schedules
are filled with trips with trips for speaking engagements, and
matters concerning the Georgia Legislature.

I do wish you the best of success in your endeavor to
find a writer.

Sincerely,

Julian Bond
