Colin M. Selph
Postmaster
St. Louis, Mo.
My dear Mr. Tumalty:
Herewith enclosed find an editorial from the Westliche-Post, one of the five big German papers of the United States, and a paper which is Republican in politics.
I feel that I ought to send you this because the President is being so unanimously endorsed for his action in relation to the negroes, who have become so arrogant and so self-asserted that they are gradually developing into a menace.
Will you be kind enough to convey to the President my highest esteem and best wishes and accept the same expression for yourself.
Sincerely yours,
Colin M. Selph
Mr. Joseph P. Tumulty
Secretary to the President,
Washington, DC
