COUNCIL AGAINST INTOLERANCE IN AMERICA

LINCOLN BUILDING, NEW YORK CITY TELEPHONE: VANDERBILT 6-5584

May 9, 1939

Miss Marian Anderson c/o Hurok Musical Bureau 30 Rockerfeller Plaza, New York City

Dear Miss Anderson:

Reports from all over the United States continue to bring alarming news of the growth of intolerance. Forces in this country are inciting racial and religious biogtry, endeavoring to duplicate here the shocking persecutions in Europe, which have horrified civilized men and women everywhere.

Because of this situation we are joining with the Council Against Intolerance in America, to do an emergency job to defeat the destructive propaganda which today assails the American tradition of religious freedom and human equality.

We ask you to meet us on Tuesday, May 16th, at 4 o'clock at the Hotel Algonquin, to help plan the work which all of us must do to stamp out this menace. Will you not phone or write us at this address that you will be present?

Very sincerely yours,

[Signature] Dorothy Canfield Fisher

Transcription Conventions

Spelling: Maintain original spelling (including u/v, i/j, and ff). Long "s" should be replaced with a regular "s". Terminal long "i" characters are transcribed as "i" not "j".
Hyphenation: Preserve hyphens (including "=" characters) at the ends of lines.
Capitalization: Maintain original
Punctuation: Add modern periods, but don't add punctuation like commas and apostrophes.
Deletions: Deleted characters and words are tagged with "strike" and then displayed with the line through them.
Symbols: For apothecary and alchemical symbols, use these symbols followed by the meaning of the symbol in brackets: Rx [recipe]; ℈ [scruple]; ʒ [dram]; ʒs [half dram]; ℥ [ounce]; ℥s [half ounce]; ℔ [pound].
For roman numerals following symbols that indicate amount, i.e., j=1, ij=2, iij= 3, v=5, type arabic numeral in brackets following roman numeral: i [1], ii [2], iii [3], v [5].
Line Breaks: Hit return once after each line ends. Two returns indicate a new paragraph, which is usually indentation following the preceding sentence in the original. The times at the end of each entry should get their own paragraph, since the software does not support indentation in the transcriptions.
Illegible text: Indicate illegible readings in single square brackets: [Dr?]
A single newline indicates a line-break in the original document, and will not appear as a break in the text in some views or exports. Two newlines indicate a paragraph, and will appear as a paragraph break in all views.
