Dear Mr.. wyche:
wish 10 take this opportunity
on behalf OF the Association 70
express our appreciation for the
very fine publicity that has been
given the NAACP's fund raising

IL is only through the press
that we are able to let the peo-
pie OF the city OF Detroit know
the facts about our organization
and its activities. The 1850 goal
Of 10000 memberships can only
be reached by making all con-
scious OF the need for a strong
and militant organization.
We sincerely hope that you will
continue 10 support us in the flu

the past.
Very sincerely yours,
