Description
A handwritten letter to Thelma T. Gorham from someone identified as "Charles." In it, Charles expresses sorrow and sympathy for a situation Mrs. Gorham is going through (the specifics are not explained, but it seems to involve a disagreement with a university). Charles goes on to explain that he is sending Mrs. Gorham a job application to work at his place of employment, which he refers to simply as "Martin," and that he hopes Mrs. Gorham can leave her current situation and move down South, where, he says, "a little racial prejudice here and there" is to be expected, but that "those few who have it keep it well hidden behind walls of smiles."
