Transcript

Dear Sir: I am concerned with helping the poor people of our wonderful country. Looking thru the Baltimore paper yesterday, I came across something I am sending along to you. Before the poor people from the Baltimore area march on Washington, is there any way you can get them to the employment agencies to apply for these jobs that were in the Baltimore Sun Sunday, april 25. I hope this will help some of the people get jobs.
