Frankfort where my stay was very
short. and then l jumped to Mont
gomery, West Virginia, and I got q
few good things there about my
people.
I wish you could just go there and
soc my people. There l had tho
pleasure of meeting some men who
were operating coal mines, and then
others who were working in them.
We'll l had never seen mine before
and | am going to tell you n few
things about ii when go back there.
l made it up to Philadelphia, from
that point, where | spent few days
looking around for brotherly love.
| have been hearing about 1t for n
long time and enjoyed very much
seeing the real city itself. 1t was to
me a source Of pleasure to meet
some Of the big people of my race in
there, but / want to say some other
things to you this week, hence
will not have much to say about
Philadelphia, Chester and other
places I have been.
But I am in Washington, and
have been here this week attending
Race Congress. While attending
the National Baptist Convention in
st. Louis, I was invited by tho Rev.
w. TT. Jernagin, ID. ID. to come to
Washington and attend the meeting.
/ accepted the invitation to come,
although my money is getting slack,
and I may have to yet go to war to
send some of them Germans into
eternity or get sent there myself.
| want to know what the race Is
doing and what it is thinking about,
and thought it would be good time
and place to do this. / got to town
and was sent to The home OF Bishop
Il. N, Ross, and although Bishop was
out of town at the time, his wife
received me just like I was ono of
them bishops myself, and made me
at home.
I then visited the home Of Dr.
Jernagin and found. his daughter
getting ready to become n bride and
this was causing them to do some
work, believe me. The wedding will
be over and she will not longer be
Miss Lottie Jernagin, but will be
some other name.
