olored brother. Treat them with the same respect and dignity demanded by any white man. Follow your ideas, not the ones planted in your heads by your family. You are better than the cowards who are running society in Lake City. They are a group of scared good old boys who fear for their jobs and the jobs of their children. These are the same men who stifle your mothers from expressing their opinions, working, voting. If I could give you one peace of advice it is to get out of South Carolina while you still can. Before you know it you will be financially confined to Lake City and you won’t be able to leave. You will be corrupted by the backwards views of all of those around you and you wont be able to escape. Please continue to write to me as I will have much to tell about my new life. If you need a way to contact me I will always keep in touch with the Holberts. Please take care and consider what I have said. Love always,...
