Miss Virginia Harper, Administrative Secretary
Fort Madison Branch, N.A.A.C.P.

Fort Madison Iowa 52627

Dear Miss Harper:

Please find enclosed herewith a copy of a letter which I received from the Iowa State Highway Commission over the signature of Mr. Robert L. Humphrey, Planning and Programming Engineer for the same.

He asks several questions in his letter which you probably can shed some light on. I notice that he is using the tactic of divide and conquer when he refers to the minority persons who apparently spoke out in favor of the proposed corridor area and who indicated how great everything was in Fort Madison for minority persons.

I would appreciate your comments with respect to the enclosed at your earliest convenience.

Thank you.

Sincerely yours,
[[Signature]]Jimmy
