Dear Madam:
At the request of Assistant Secretary Williams, I beg leave to advise you that the three colored women, referred to in the Assistant Secretary's recent letter to you as having persisted in sitting at tables occupied by white women in the lunch room set aside for female employees in this Bureau, after they had been requested to sit at other tables with women of their own race, are Bertha Saunders, printer's assistant; Maggie B. Key and Rosebud A. Murraye, operatives.
Very respectfully
[J. E. Ralph]
Director.
