Holy City, Cal. Feb. 1, 1943

Postoffice Department,

Bureau of Inspector,

New York, N.Y.

Mr. J. J. Doran, Esteemed Sir:

Answering your communication of Jan. 25th, 1943, I openly protest about your apparent indifference to the false, malicious, defamatory, unprivileged and criminally libelous matter, now being circulated by the NEW DAY Pub. Co. Can you be serious, "about the identity of the sender", the NEW DAY PUB. CO. or the author Father Divine?

You now know that Father Devine has with vituperative villification, threatened to blast Holy City, from the face of the earth, by volcano, tornado or earthquake - that his followers threaten to take the law in their own hands.

You know, or ought to know that said words are designed to create a religious race riot, to-wit: by inflaming the fanatical bigotry of negroes and perverted whites. Must I submit to such infamous oppression awaiting the hour when I and my followers of Holy City, California are assaulted with torches and razors?

I insist that you proceed according to law that the United States mails no longer be the instrumentality of circulating the most infamous libels in the history of litigation.

Expecting that you will proceed against Father Divine according to law, as I have notified you heretofore, I will at any time be the complaining witness. I have the honor to subscribe myself,
