My dear Lewis,Since our nictures of the' ’’Summit” at Addis bep;an cominp;

in I’ve been yoinff throur^h eacii one carefully hopin?: to see your face somewhere in the background. Did you take no interest or were you too busy?

I can hear you grumbling, ’’ThivS bum is v^riting to me simpy because there';- something he v^ants." That’s true, ^nly a little worse because in addition to that I ma am inflicting a cony of The Classic on you and it seems a cruel thing to do in view of the horribly reproduced jazz pix in it. Nevertheless, the thing is published novi and we've got to get rid of it. The initial print order is 1,500. We expect to sell 5000 in the end, People have been wefmderful here. Nadine has started asking friends all over America to distribute it. We have peonle in Gape Town Pretoria, Durban, all over, Nadine has this suggestion: o^ld you nlease contact her friend, Betty Sacks, (She says_vou.,-^nt out together once in London) and work/vrith her in'disjiWfbuting The Classic? It would be most h^pful'of you./W^gji^our auditors sent a statement of our fiHarKfi^ position tpCAlack, I_ Xi"^ee that you get a .cony/tMird, believe it or not, you vri/‘ receive ~ -----a.^ieq'tie''^r your short story fron^h^,,Classiji

Mr.Nathaniel Nakasa,The Classic,P.O.Box 6^3^,J ohannesburg.Republic of South Africa.

9,Upper Addison Gardens, London W.14.July 23,1963.

Dear Nat,I should have iN'ritten to you sooner,but things here are a bit

hectic at the moment.The shipping line has only sent me a letter this week.notifying me of the arrival of the Classic. Next week I should be in Paris on the first leg of a trip to several African countries where I am to do television interviews for National(.''jaerican) Educational Television:these are to be with leading African writers,and we start v;ith Zeke and Senghor in Paris next week;then Kampala,Uganda,Nyasaland between August 1^ ind 15.and then Nigeria anfi Ghana,We should be in Nigeria and Ghana until the end of September,

I have had to leave my radio production job to stay home and concentrate on reading everything these vrriters have written to base the intervievrs on;consequently there is very little I have been able to do for you.

As for the distribution of the Classic I have arranged with two bookshops to take some copies-Better Books and Colitts.They are the best bookshops in town for avant-garde taste and off-beat writing which may include The Classic by definition,! hope to approach a few more before I leave;of course,the Transcription Centre can sell some, already we are selling Black Orpheus to people interested in African X'^riting;! should leave Dennis v;ith all the copies we can't place with the bookshops.

Mrs,Sachs? Well,the handling of this latter part of the distribution seems to me rather inept.The only time I met Mrs.Sachs >fas when Nadine x<ms here Snd. went to the theatre.! can't understand x hy should couldn't have written to her herself,! don't even know x rhether Mrs.Sachs is prenared to shoulder some of the responsibility for The Classic;! can't just turn up at her flat x.rith parcels of the magazine}That if ! can find her-x«rhere does she live? All this Nadine knows, so v»h3r not give ’xs the information,

!'m sorry about failure to do anything for you on that terrible x<roraan-Noni Jabavu;but do let me know if there is anything ! can do for you betv/een shooting schedules.You've been getting small publicity here -in the Gxiardian.! passed some clippings on to Jack for which he vras grateful.His Board will find something tangible in them,! suppose} Not that The Classic is not tangible.Jolly good job for a start on the limited resources.We won't say anything about the quality of the writing yet.But how could you let Beinart tell the world that jazz in South Africa, whether modern or not,started in 1959*Jazz did not start or coincide with Beinart's return to South Africa.This is a matter of fact.

Sincerely,

Auguot 14,1963Dear "ev- ir ,

Thank you for your laat letter and congratu'ati'no n television assignment. It should he good fun for you apart frominvolving hard work, ^ ^Things are getting tough this end, n the pact few daysRuth got arrested under the 90-dey law and so did Anne-marrie wh ha since been released. Yet 1 must say we have not reached a^stage where people get picked up and fined for refusing to Joing the alawi Congress Party. 1 h ;pe you will let us have your impressicr s of that place, Ryasaland, when you leave it. '.<hat on ear h is going on

Attended a private discussion at Jean Sinclair's flat and fund Bill V,'ilson and Bishop A.H. Zuly (remember the Durban guy?) there ZuTu spoke shortly before flying to Canada for a church c^^nference.He cut a. very interesting fi ure as he emerged from the fashionable block of flats through th fire-escape* The main entrance to this

‘building bears one of those "Africans* and hawkers use back entrance"si.gns, • TOn hearing that you are on an Africa tour, Jim aileyim-’ediately chuckled, "Jolly good, let the Americans pay p r the twip and I*ewis do some work for us as roving corr‘’spondent oi Dru and The Classic." He did also say seriously that he w..uld be intere- stred ■’n ■''■our imToresoi ■ s of Africa.®r Meanwhile, if this is possible at, I nhould be most grateful if you influence ^ny of the writers you meet to se d s-fcuff thin way. We nov/ have someone who can translate French material, so French sjories are v/elcome. We have to come out at the 6’d of September and still haven't got half the materialnecessary. a. ^I went to Durban recently and made arrangements to getpoems fr m Desmond Dlom xnd (remember H.I»B.*s son?), Zindela,Obed Mu-i and StsrkExMjckKhisfiK*: Duke •' gcobo, Musi is clearly the live­liest of the lot. He says ^acmillan may have nutide himself a name when he spoke of the winds o^ change against Ver oerd, but with frofu' 'c's case Mocmillan is nf)t faced v/ith 7/inds^of change bu't gale iorce. He is pi’sps.x'ing 3. siOTy xis on & 3"bo iHzll whicli d.i©(3. mi 8.1coho*lie because it drank n an empty stomach everyday.

Mr, Lewis Nkoai,9, IJjpsr Addiasn Gardens,Loinr)N w. 14.Ihgland.^ear Lewis,

The cheque herewith for R22.68 serves as our token of appreciation for your eo-operatlon in contributing "The Promise" to "ibe Classic" volume 1 No, 1.

Thank you very much.

Daar Lawla,Tha da‘ 1 knows if this lattar will avar catch up with you

ia tima. Your laat lattar gava oa various addrassas through which I could contact you in Africa. I sant two talagrams to what I baliava to ba tha ma;}orlty of ho tala in Nairobi following a auggaation from a talavislon colloagua of yours. Still I couldn’t contact you.

You will ba intarastad to nota that this ona lattar is not to do with tha Classic at all* It has, howovar, to do with anothar aagasina - DRUM. DRUM has bean taken over by a Johannesburg Journalist for whose skill X have tha greatest raupeot* Please find a copy of his first iasua. Ilka all editora, ha — David Unsalhurat •« is always on tha look-out for good contributions by good Journalists. Ha has asked me to oontaot you and find out if you couldn’t do a pleoa for him on tha southern states of Amarioa.

XoMX television oollaagus, Dor4y told me that ths Obsarvsr was ssnding you to tha States. Is this true? Whatever tha position, could you plaass write to the new editor of DRUM, David Hasalhurst, sayr ing whether or not you’ll be in a position to sand him a piaoe on tha subject. Bo much for DRUM*

Good old Johannesburg is slowly raoovering from the racsnt Jazz festival held at Orlando Stadium. Tha whole thixig turned out to ba such a ahatnblas that tha Judges, including John Blacking and lulian Bainart ware oompallad to consider their verdict in the lavatory because of tha atampadas alsawhera in tha stadium.

Let me Just say ona or two things about tha Classic* Tha 2nd iasua is moving wall. Doris Leasing, Ronnie Manyosi and anothar local •tiaraoter have given me soma quite nice atorias. Bloody Chad Musi promlaad to sand me a story weeks ago but I havsn't sasn it to this d^. I forgivs

To his astonishment. it is said, he found two of the city’s leading and hardest drinkers. "What are you doing barer he asked, " 'e were told there is a party here," replied one of them, refusing to take Obed’s advice to leave before the lecture on the evils of drinking began.

HATHMIBL NAkASi,

9,Upper Addison Gardens, London W,1^,October 16,1963*

Mr,Nat Nakasa, THE CLASSIC, Johannesburg, South Africa,

Dear Nat,I had meant to write to you sooner,but pressure* in Africa

were too much.I did ask Wole Soyinka in Nigeria to get you material from the other young writers there and dispatch it to you as soon as he can,I am also going to write myself to several this week,

I thought,by now,that the magazine might toughen its critical sensibilities,so avoid being a »'mutual admiration society,” Here is a review of i?ichard Rive’s book just published in English by a German firm.Its a collection of xk his stories;and if you find you can't use the review in your forth-coming issue please send the review back post-haste because I would like to give it to Ulli Beier in Nigeria for his "Black Orpheus," I am already working on a review ±ax of Dennis Brutus’ poem for that magazine,

I shall also send you a few poems- about three or a story at the end of the week,I hope to write you a fuller letter then.

Best n^gards.

Lewis,P,S,Jack passed through here two days ago on his way back from Paris to New York,

Mr. Levis Nkosi,9, Upper Addison Gardens, LONDON W. 14.England.

Dear Levis,Very nice of you to vrite sending me the reviev of Rive's book. It

vas just in time to be included in our second issue vhich vould have been out by nov had ve not rtin into censorship difficulties over Arthur Maimane's story.

Needless to say 1 am looking forvard anxiously to your poems and the story. Did you not come across any potential contributors in Africa? We are, of course, alvays keen to find nev names.

The second issue, nov vith the printers, carries the follovingiAn announcement of the short story contest, stories by Barney Simon, Douglas Boet, Casey Motsisi and Doris Lessing} poems by Senghor and Docratt a yoimg

^ Indian vriter vho lives in Fordsburg - he is yetunpublished before} Athol Fugard's play, some jazz dravings and a bunch of paintings and dravings by a nev African artist.

Jack has been tops vith me. He recently got a monthly grant of ^200 to last for three months as a stipend for me. This means, for three months at aiQrrate I can concentrate on pulling the paper together reading a lot (vhi^ as^owknov I need desperately to do) and vriting oyself. I have e^T^ret^ygo^t^this idea that if ve distribute fairly large numbers of copies of ’'Ihe Classic” all over the contry especially in the Non-vhite tovnships, ve stand a chance of raising at least four nev writers in a year. Such ideas can only be tried if I have time and am vithout^i^den of free-lance journalism.

I expect Casej to work more closely with me in future. I spent some time at his house the other day — Old Motsisi was still recovering from an unsettling experience which he had recently. In his wordst "1 had this girl which 1 intended to marry. I noticed that her hands were coarse. I thought that this weus perhaps because she was ovei*worked while she lived with me. Next thing I walk into a voodoo session and discover that my fiancee is a "Sangoma** with a prominent Job of a dinumaer in weekly rituals. 1 couldn't help but drive her away.”

Finally, how is it going with the distribution of the 50 copies I sent to The Transcription Centre. Nobody has told me yet if they did get them. 1 shall look fonrard to your lettSr.

Best wishes.
