THE NATIONAL BANK OF ROCKY MOUNT

Rocky Mount, N.C. 7/1/1919.

Governor T. W. Bickett,
Raleigh, N.C.

My dear Governor:-

I wish to thank you most heartily for your fine attitude in regard to the Clansman order. You are undoubtedly right in every particular. It is a most vicious attempt to make money by exploiting race prejudices, which are entirely out of date. The State owes you a debt of gratitude.

In all these War times the State has been very fortunate in having such a fearless and able executive.

With best wishes, I remain,

Yours very sincerely,

Thos. H. Battle
