(LITERATURE AND POETRY.) LOCKE, ALAIN LE ROY. "Know all Men by These Present, that I Alain Locke do hereby constitute and appoint Roscoe C. Bruce to be my lawful attorney, substitute and proxy for me, and in my name to vote upon all the stock held by me in the PHILLIS WHEATLEY PUBLISHING CO., INC." Single 4to sheet of typing paper, signed by Locke and with an entire sentence added in ink and initialed by Locke. Signed by a notary with her seal. Np, 1926
Power of Attorney given by Alain Locke to Roscoe C. Bruce (Blanche Bruce''s son). A search of the World Catalogue found nothing published by the Phillis Wheatley Publishing Co. The date of this power of attorney coincides with the busiest decade of the Harlem Renaissance and Locke, who was involved in a great many projects at this time, could have been planning to publish a book, or even a play or musical.
