August 11, 1913.
Mr. James B. Robinson,
Morehead City, N.C.
Dear Sir:-
Yours of August 8th asking the Governor to give you authority to organize a colored regiment in this state received. I am directed by the Governor to say that the present status of affairs between the United States and the republic of Mexico are not of such a nature as to justify him in making any such organization.
Very truly yours,
