JP. T.-#11

He has quite a wide reputation in that business. If
he could be placed at the White House as one of the
stewards, it would be recognition that would be
appreciated amongst the colored people.

Now, I have been somewhat copious in
my references, becuase I suppose you want the
fullest information.

All of the persons above named did
yeoman service in the last campaign particularly,
excepting young Walters, and all are men of
education.

I trust you will see that this list
be given consideration as soon as possible and
thereby put an end to the tremendous pressure being
made by the friends of these individuals to secure
them recognition.

This is the list that Bishop Walter
has agreed upon after consultation with various
leading colored men throughout the country. I am,

Very sincerely yours,
R. S. Hudspeth
