[written text]
Dear Sirs;
I am a Black resident of the North Miami district. I am writing in view of the McDuffey trials. In my opinion the judgement in this case as well as many others of this type have been totally unfair. Black people on a whole, I feel, feel exactly as I. This trial is definitely Racism in an odious form. Out government is supposed to be built on liberty. So I'm writing to let you know that I know something should be done, and I expect nothing less that that.
Sincerely Hoping,
Mrs. Verdell Jenkins
