NOVEMBER · I 9 I 5 send wiD be heartily appreciated both by me and members of my family my wife in particular. I want to say that ~ had the pleasure of hearing your address in Woosley ~WooIsey] Hall Nov [Oct.] ~5 past and ~ also heard you speak in the A.M.E.Z. church the same night and enjoyed them both immensely. Eloquent as your address was at Woosley Hall ~ enjoyed your heart to heart talk at Zion church more. Why? Because you were among your own people and you could appeal direct to them In a confidential manner even better than you could in a great meeting such as Woosley Hall and Carnegie HaD in New York. In this little place you could and did point out their fault and short comings in a manner in which they appreciated. You also prescribed a remedy which remedy ~ am sure will be followed even until the last drop of the medicine has been taken. ~ am sincere when ~ say that by your speech in Zion church you have arouse an awakening in New Haven such as the colored people In this vicinity has ever had before. And it was these words largely that did it, you say that you are criticised for preaching ind?'stri~ Education and right here In New Haven the centre of intelligence where there is higher education in front of one higher education in back of one, on the side etc. In fact it is almost impossible to escape learning here where school and colleges both day and night are continually open and yet a city where there are more than five thousand colored people in it only two natives are attending Yale University. Yes sir those remark of yours struck deep ant} ~ think fell on good soil and the results wily be forthcoming. The colored folk of New Haven are sadly ashamed of their showing in the higher branches of learning. Those remarks won more people over to your method than perhapts] many great flights of oratory and volumes of books. You pressed home the results of your many years work in those few words. Sir, it was the home run stroke which won the game when the score was a tie. For fear of fatiguing you by farther discourse ~ close hoping to hear from you soon. Sincerely yours Wm H Jackson ALS Con. 53z BTW Papers DLC. ~ William H. Jackson was listed in the New Haven, Conn., city directory as a bartender. 423
