Mr. Tumulty
Private Secy to the President
Washington D. C.

Dear Sir:

Reputable Colord men of this
Country were startled and blushed
for shame where they read the list
of Colored men Bishap Walters filed
at the White House for appointment.
Nearly every one of them has a shady
past. James Ross recommended for
Minister to Liberia has been a dive
keeper. Frank Wheaton recommended
for the same place, deserted his
wife and family for a white woman
of questionible sharacter. Frank
Warren also recommended is married
