Dear
Madam:--
With reference to your letter of June 19th relative
to the Duluth affair, it may interest you to know that twelve persons have
already been indicted and arrested on first degree murder charges on account of
alleged participation in the lynchings. The grand jury has not completed its
investigation and the state departments are, of course, cooperating in every way
possible.
Very truly yours,
B/VS
