RECEIVED]

Very Right Honorable Woodrow Wilson,
President of the United States,
Washington, D. C.

Kind Sir:-

It gives me pleasure to state that I am praying that
God will bring you out victorious in your present international
fight for absolute justice and fair play to all nations, and I feel
very sure that you are going to win not only in this fight but in
all of the others into which you may plunge because God and right
will be overwhelmingly on your side.

I am looking forward, Mr. President, with a great deal
of pleasure, to the time when you will take up the perplexing
Negro Problem in this country, and I have the confidence that
you are going to handle it very successfully and that the lynch-
ing and burning of negro men and women in America, and their homes,
churches and school houses will soon end because of your diplomacy
in successfully handling the negro problem.

I am hoping to see you send a special message to Congress
on the Negro Problem, and I have urged my friends to be patient
and wait and before March 4th, 1921 they will be permitted to see
and know that you were placed in the White House to remain eight years
for the purpose of teaching America and the entire world important
