Dear Miss Clark:
The National Federation of Colored Women's Clubs will meet in this city during the first week in August and I am asked to raise$50.00 towards the $1500 that the local committee must raise to meet the demands that will be required of us.
I am writing to 25 of our white friends asking them to help me raise my $50.00. As Chairman of the local committee I am anxious to get the required amount.
Won't you please help us and help me to make my report?
Very truly yours,
Ora Brown Stokes
