Description
A letter from Jess Dunson to Thelma T. Gorham in which he inquires about her health after two major operations, noting that she seems to "consider such happenings with reckless abandon." Dunson goes on to express his regret for the "passing" of The Apache Sentinel, which would announce its suspension publicly a week after the letter was penned. He continues with congratulations for her work and contributions to "America's and the negro's war efforts," and expresses the joy he has derived from their correspondence and his hope that it will continue.
