Dear Pat,
Your letter addressed to James Robinson, Secretary C.O.R.E, was published in Jackie Robinson's column, N.Y. Post.
To me, and I think to all time Americans, it's a heart-sickening thing to have happen.
In my travels about the world, I've been approached many times by foreigners, asking about the Negro situation in U.S. They all seem very much concerned. Try to explain, but its very hard to explain something to a person who has never been familiar with the American way of life.
Pat, I am making a trip around the world, during the course of the trip I am going to show your letter to all the people who approaches me
