Text

Dear Governor

The request for some statement on our part with reference to the East St. Louis affair will not down. This morning a delegation of twenty representative negroes called here and presented this resolution, containing a statement as to their grievances. Until some statement is issued by you deprecating these terrible things, I am afraid the pressure will grow greater and greater.The President.

Sincerely yours, Tumulty

To

Wilson, Woodrow, 1856-1924
