Additional Details

An interesting group of letters, written by Baldwin as he was finishing up his book, "The Evidence of Things Not Seen." He discusses the book here and there in the letters, and while not in any great detail, we do get an idea of the pressure that Baldwin felt he was under to finish the book, as well as the feelings he had for his friend Shaun Henderson. Baldwin thanks Henderson for a poem, and refers to one he wrote, and adds "We will have much to talk about. To learn from each other -- forever. My love now, keep it that way-Amen, keep the faith, Love, Jimmy Baldwin"
