The collection contains a stanza from the poem "Lullaby," a quotation from "Accountability, " and an autograph. In a letter to A.S. Lanahan, Dunbar reviews the first twenty-five years of his life including education, employment and early literary work. He mentions both lack of prejudice fom classmates and job opportunities denied him because of his race. He notes Richard Watson Gilder's surprise at learning he was a Negro. In other letters he gives permission to use any of his verses, corrects titles, reveals his humble opinion of his own work, and alerts publishers to a possible future submission.
