A letter, written in cursive, which reads: Tuskegee, Alabama, October 14, 1904. Dear Dr. Du Bois: Your credo in the current issue of The Independent is what I call a classical jewel. Do please have it put on a good hanging card and let us distribute it for the edification of souls. Sincerely and cordially, Adella Hunt Logan, Institute Station
