Description
A letter from someone identified as "Frances," most likely a friend of Thelma T. Gorham. Frances thanks Mrs. Gorham for the newsletter she received from her and tells Mrs. Gorham that she must visit her and her family in Des Moines. Frances goes on to update Mrs. Gorham on her family and personal life, making several mentions of "Lincoln," possibly Lincoln University in Jefferson City, Missouri, where Mrs. Gorham was a professor of journalism. She also mentions FAMU, the historically black university in Tallahassee, Florida where Mrs. Gorham started a journalism track while she was a professor in the English department.
