Nashville, Feb. 6, 1875.
Mr.. owen Howell,
Publisher, Bulletin-Appeal,
st. Paul, MINI.
My dear Mr.. Howell:
The weekly arrival Of our Bulletin
Appeal, with its wealth of Interesting
articles and Illuminating editorials.
is an important episode in my So
journ in Nashville. In displaying it
before clubs and other men and wo-
men making up the citizenry of
Nashville, feel just pride in tell
ing of our Business League publisher
who makes such sacrifice of time
and funds from week to week to af-
ford us this outstanding race paper.
Outstanding not from the size of its
circulation list, but from the char
acter of its make up and the high
moral tone of its news matter as I
view 1t, in reading the current issues
and considering many of its excellent
past issues, the fearless attitude of
its publisher. the high moral stand of
its news matter and editorial col
umns, the excellent make up of its
pages from a standpoint of up-to-date
journalism, the Bulletin-Appeal is
the equal of any race journal.
There is no more potential factor
in racial progress and advancement
than the Negro press, and at no time
has there been greater need for
strong race journals than at the pres
ent. In sponsoring the publication of
this excellent newspaper you are
rendering a great service which will
some day be adequately appreciated.
1t has a high place in the estimation
of a host of our white citizenry who
keep in touch with the best thought
and achievement of our race group.
1t is to be regretted that the Bull
letin-Appeal does not receive the sup
port it merits. 1t should go into ev-
cry home, and be paid for. 1t should
be adequately supported by those
whose battles it is fighting. and this
without prodding and urging. but as
matter of race pride. And I be-
lieve the time will come when this
will be the case.
Men and women of Nashville have
become acquainted with the Bulletin
Appeal, regard it highly, and COM
mend you for the altruistic spirit
which enables us to enjoy its bene-
fits.
Sincerely,
Nellie F. MRS. W. T. Francis.
