Dear Mr. Tumulty:
I have your kind acknowledgement of November 18th in which you state that you are trying to "settle it (the segregation issue) in a satisfactory way." There is but one satisfactory way and that is to do simple justice to the colored people and not to discriminate against them. It is an easy way, which requires nothing more than living up to the spirit of one's oath of office.
Sincerely yours,
Oswald Garrison Villard
Mr. Joseph P. Tumulty,
Secretary to the President
Washington, D.C.
