TLS, one page, 7.25 x 10.5, personal letterhead, March 16, 1946. Letter to a charitable donor. In full: “How generous of you to send this check for $100! The office will acknowledge it direct but I wanted you to know how much I appreciate it for The Open Door. The hospitals are breaking down, one has changed its policy and is accepting Negro nurses. The other two will soon follow. Meanwhile, we have undertaken to investigate and work on the whole YMCA situation which is very bad. Apparently the discrimination in YMCA buildings is very severe, and often times most severe in the very communities where there are the most colored folk, and of course where there is the most need for a community center which will allow everyone to come in, but you will hear more of this later.” In fine condition, with a rusty paperclip mark and pencil notation to the top edge. Pre-certified PSA/DNA and RR Auction COA.
