I wish that whole del-
egation of negroes from
Boston could see this copy
of one of our state papers
which I am sending to
you under separate cover,
and to which this letter refers.

Please note that the
speech delivered by the negro
at the fair, and so compli-
mentary referred to in the
editorial column of this
paper was spoken just the
day before the insolent
Trotter disgraced himself
and his delegation there
in your presence.

May God's blessings rest
on your continuous success
as our valient God-fearing
leader.

Respectfully yours
