Honorable J.A. Burnquist,
State Capitol,
St. Paul,
Minn.
My dear Mr. Burnquist:
Will you be good enough to advise us
if the report of the Duluth lynchings have been made public. If this has not
been done, may we urge you to see that it is done, especially in view of the
cases of the colored men which yet remain to be tried.
Very truly yours,
Walter White
Assistant Secretary
