THE WHITE HOUSE,
November 18, 1914

Mr dear Major Moton:

Your letter of November sixteenth has grati-
fied me very much indeed. The admirable spirit it
breathes and the good judgment it so clearly indicates
with regard to the best lines of development for our
negro fellow-citizens excites my sincere admiration and
approval. It is particularly delightful to me that my
real temper and disposition in matters of this sort
should be understood by those who themselves have the
interests of the negro people most at heart, and I shall
be happy at any time to render such assistance as I can
in furthering the develoment to which you are devoting
yourself.

Sincerely yours,
(signed) WOODROW WIISON

Major R. R. Moton,
Hampton, Virginia.
