One letter dated April 21, 1925, from William L. Cheney, editor of Collier's Magazine. Makes recommendations for Ruhl's article about U.S. and Haitan relations. Requests a stronger connection to the American reader. Chenery writes, "I believe that this comment is sound and that we have to reckon with the fact that the average reader doesn't care a hang about the whole business unless he is lured into it by the sheer interest of the narrative."
William L. Chenery was a journalist who worked as an editor and eventually as the publisher of Collier's Magazine for 25 years. His publishing saved the publication which rose in prominence among political officials.
