OFFICE OF
ENDOWMENT DEPARTMENT
DISTRICT GRAND LODGE NO. 7.
G. U. O. OF O. F.
NASHVILLE, NORTH CAROLINA.

Your Excellency, Gov. T. W. Bickett,
Raleigh, N.C.

My Dear and Honored Sir:

I am writing this to thank you for the manly stand you have taken against the organization of the Ku Klux Klan. We want harmony between the races in North Carolina, for our interests are the same, whether we are white or black, and the American people who have made such world-wide pretentions to fairness can ill afford to support a reign of terrorism that is evidently to follow the successful operation of the Ku Klux Klan.

We want to live in peace and enjoy the fruit of honest toil;
We ask no more, we expect no less in good old North Carolina.

With great respect, I am your humble servant,
