Colored Men Denounce
Sender of Letter
Bartlett Texas
January 20 1934.
To the Mayor City Officials and
all whom it may concern:
We have knowledge of a let-
ter that was written by some un-
known party to the Governor of
Texas stating that the colored
people of Bartlett are not receiv-
ing the proper consideration rel-
ative to the relief program that
is in operation through the coun
try.
Be it resolved therefore that
we as law abiding citizens of
Bartlett disapprove of such a
statement. First because it is
untrue. Second; because we have
not authorized anyone to' inter-
cede for us. We disapprove of
this action which was uncalled
for and unjust. We hope by this
statement to correct the error
which has been made for we are
grateful for the relief that has
been given us. We believe the lo-
cal relief committee has been
fair in the administration of re-
lief in Bartlett.

909 during 1933 according to of-
ficial records of the Texas Fire

ceipt of the folowing letter:
