Mr. F Douglass
My Dear Sir
Enclosed I send you a letter addressed to R. D. Beckly in answer to one Published in the New Era. I had doubts as to what was best, to send it for Publication or to him Direct. I therefor submit the Matter to your superior judgment to do as you think best
I very much regret the publication of Mr. B letter and my letter is not as strong as facts would warrant and feel that justice & truth demand his rebuke & the Ladies vindication Mr. B spoke against civil rights in Alexandria the past week, he is a man void of convictions Principles or Honor
Yours truly E Nash
