Dear Sirs:
Enclosed please find a check for a year's subscription to the Courier. I read a copy of it for the first time today and was greatly impressed by its statements. I have never realized the problems of the South as I am a native of Indiana and, of course, raised in an era when there was not the problem that exists today because someone chooses to force integration.
In the Nov. 8th election, I refused to vote for either Republican or Democrat for I feel they both are pushing too far for things our forefathers fought to save us from experiencing. All the evil publicity given to the South in our newspapers, I feel, must be reversed in order to see the real truth.
God bless and help you people of the South in your stand against this awful evil.
