Description

“I assume the meeting would be for colored people—otherwise I wouldn’t care to do it”

ALS, one page, 7 x 10.5, December 24, no year. Letter to Oscar DePriest, an Illinois congressman. In part: “I shall be obliged to leave Washington on the 10th so if I speak at the Patterson High School it must be on some other date. I assume the meeting would be for colored people—otherwise I wouldn’t care to do it…I should be glad to meet you…I never can luncheon, at least only a very little, and times are too hard to waste money on friends.” In very good condition, with partial separations to intersecting folds, scattered toning, and areas of paper loss to the top edge. Pre-certified PSA/DNA and RR Auction COA.
