Unbound. One page Typed Letter Signed ("Arthur H. Fauset") dated 19 January 1954 on his Arthur H. Fauset Real Estate letterhead. Folded as mailed, else fine. Addressed to "Dear Pastor" who is not otherwise identified, Fauset begins: "Recently I came across a church edifice in a strategic West Philadelphia section which might be of interest to you and your congregation." Fauset was the half-brother of Jessie Fauset and an important figure in the Harlem Renaissance in his own right. He contributed to *Opportunity*, *Fire!!* and Alain Locke's *The New Negro*, and wrote several books including *Black Gods of the Metropolis: Negro Religious Cults of the Urban North, Sojourner Truth: God's Faithful Pilgrim*, and *For Freedom: A Biographical Story of the American Negro*. Curiously, we were not aware that Fauset conducted a real estate career.
