Honorable Sir:-

The Household of Ruth No. 253, Grand United Order

conditional release of the Scottsboro Boys.
We firmly believe that these boys are innocent which
has really been proven by one of the State's witnesses, and we trust
that your belief in fairness will prevail in the case of these boys
and that you will grant their release.

Yours for Justice,
Angelina Holiday,
Most Noble Governor.
Victoria G. Le Beauf
