Mr. J.P.T. #2.

You will note the leading lines of this article, also editorial,
from which you may glean the true political significance of this movement.
It carries with it the implication that Tammany Hall is strong enough, and
is dictating to the President of the United States.

I hope to hear from you on this subject in time to run something
in the Amsterdam News of next week.

I note with great pleasure that the President will name a colored
man for Recorder of Deeds for the District of Columbia to succeed Henry
Lincoln Johnson, July 1st.

Thanking you in advance, I remain,

Yours very truly,

Robut Lewis Waring
Dict. RLW./EBW
