Skinner dated between 1989 and 1993 (also included are carbons of Dickinson's letters to Fabre and Skinner); and (3) Typed Letter, signed, from William Targ from 1986 commenting on Himes-related matters. Most letters single-paged and almost all are largely devoted to bibliographic topics regarding Himes various books and other published writings. Dickinson is the author of "A Bio-bibliography of Langston Hughes, 1902-1967." In 1983 he became interested in producing a bibliography of the writings of Chester Himes and wrote to the author. Himes was already in precarious health and all correspondence was between Lesley Himes (Chester's second wife) and Dickinson. Chester and Lesley Himes were agreeable to Dickinson undertaking. Chester Himes died in 1984 and, after that, the project just seemed to drift along at a leisurely pace and then evaporate as Dickinson got involved in other projects. Michel Fabre and Robert Skinner were the ones who actually published the Himes bibliography. Fabre's correspondence came while Dickinson was still at work on his Himes bibliography. The Skinner correspondence relates to the Fabre/Skinner work on Himes. 1200.00
