An interesting group of letters, written by
Baldwin as he was finishing up his book, “The
Evidence of Things Not Seen.” He discusses
the book here and there in the letters, and while
not in any great detail, we do get an idea of the
pressure that Baldwin felt he was under to fin-
ish the book, as well as the feelings he had for his friend Shaun Henderson. Baldwin thanks
Henderson for a poem, and refers to one he wrote, and adds “We will have much to talk about. To learn
from each other — forever. My love now, keep it that way-Amen, keep the faith, Love, Jimmy Baldwin”
