DuL since II - anu Tile exercise OF the
rights OF Americans, they should moi
split again on the ground of a little
Office. But II told you so, it is not
in the blood of the Rev. DIR. Edward
p Jones, to give up. When he once
gets in a good place, he wants to re-
main until separated by death.
| had the pleasure Of coming in
touch with Noah d. Thompson while
in Los Angeles, and believe me he is
one more busy man. He is doing the
newspaper stunt right along, and was
ready to show any possible courtesy,
was delighted to have the pleasure
Of looking in his face, and talking with
him. Then had the pleasure Of see
ing Sam Thompson. He is one OF the
factors in this section of the country,
and he believes in doing things. Some
people will remember him, and there
are others who will not. Life is just
life, that's all
/ have been to Los Angeles again.
| got the doctor to excuse me to go
back to fill some engagements / had
there, and, honey, they have been
filled, and | am back. | spoke on
Sunday morning to the First African
Methodist Episcopal church, Of which
the Rev. DR.. Ward is pastor, and they
were out in full bloom, believe me.
When faced that large, intelligent
audience, it was all | could do to keep
my heart from jumping out Of my
mouth. With the proper effort, sue
ceeded, and preached the word to the
people. | did not know that the peo-
pie would do such in California. They
shouted and some of them cried. and
then when was through number
of them joined the church, and then
gave to the preacher about S27. and
that was going some
Tuesday night, | spoke at the indie
pendent Church, of which the Rev.
Mr., Greggs is pastor, and they had
some crowd there to greet me. |
borrowed some thunder from Charles
Stewart, and delivered his pet lecture,
"Sambo Waxed Fat and Kicked" |
spoke, and some of them declared that
could deliver it better than Stewart,
and they want to hear me again. |
had people to tell me that look SO
much like him. Perhaps | do, be-
cause / use my eyes for looking.
/ spent the few days with Mr.. and
Mrs Elijah Cooper. and the bride. and
had some good time. They are royal
entertainers, and it was a pleasure for
me to be with these people. | met
Mr.. and Mrs. Dean, his name is
Homer Dean, and his wife is Mrs.
Sadie Dean, and they make their home
at Santa Monica, where they wanted
that / should 60 and spend the night,
and enjoy myself with them in their
home, but l could not go, because of
making the return to this place, to see
the doctor. He was kind enough to
let me make the trip and I had to
return to the hospital on time. They
have been putting me through some
wonderful tests. have promised to
GO to see Mr.. and Mrs. Dean, and
spend night and day at their home
if / do not 60 to heaven from this
point. They were SO pleased with
"Sambo Waxed Fat and Kicked" until
they want me to come out there and
deliver that same lecture. ! think |
have as much right to deliver it as
Stewart. | know as much as he knows
and can speak as well, if not better,
and why not?
/ think / shall have to bring this
letter to a stop. / have many things
to say to you later about San Fran
cisco Our schools are opening all
through the country and the people
are getting in them I think will
have to get me some more education
in order to be able to shine. God
bless you.
