My dear Major Moton:
Your letter of November sixteenth has gratified me very much indeed. The admirable spirit it breathes and the good judgment it so clearly indicates with regard to the best lines of development for our negro fellow-citizens excites my sincere admiration and approval. It is particularly delightful to me that my real temper and disposition in matters of this sort should be understood by those who themselves have the interests of the negro people most at heart, and I shall be happy at any time to render such assistance as I can in furthering the development to which you are devoting yourself.
Sincerely yours,
(signed) WOODROW WILSON
