Dear Sam:

The Police Commissioner has approved your request to be furnished
with a list showing the names, titles, and assignments of Negro members
of the Force, and such list in enclosed herewith. I have also added a
list of names, titles, and assignments of Civilian Negro members of the
Department.

Also, I thought it might be interesting to have the names and dates
of death of Negro members of the Force who were killed in the performance
of duty, which list is also enclosed.

I know that your book will be very interesting, and hope that it will
soon be off the Press, as I am very anxious to read what you have to say
on the subject with which you are so familiar.

With kind personal regards,
