Mule Bone [manuscript] : a Negro folk comedy / by Langston Hughes and Zora Neale Hurston, 1930.

http://www.worldcat.org/oclc/648015680

The only collaboration between Hughes and Hurston, the play was not produced until 1991, a result of a copyright dispute between the two authors. The mimeograph script contains a few hand corrections in pencil and red ink and two manuscript title pages, one of which has the words "Mule Bone" written twice in Hughes' distinctive green ink. The cover page notes that the play was written Westfield, New Jersey, Spring, 1930 and has Hughes' address label pasted at the bottom.
