My dear Mr. President

I herewith hand you petition and protsest with reference to the alleged segregation of the colored employes in the Department of the Government here in Washington city for your careful consideration.
It is hard to believe that any discrimination is being made by the officials of the National Government in regard to any of the citizens of this country. So far as the Government is concerned and its officials they cannot afford to practice any discrimination.

Hoping that this petition and protest will receive your careful attention, I am
Very respectfully yours,
WL Jones
