A P R I L · I 8 9 7 talist. Patriotism is a sentiment which we place above commercial interests, and beside it, many of us place our interest, sympathy & repor~sibility for the negro, there seems a connection between the two, which we cannot afford to lose sight of if we hope to do; our duty. But I assure you my sentiments do not prevent my appreciating the manliness, common sense & clear logic of your arguments & your attitude, only I do not think it would be wise for you to' cast out sentiment altogether from your speeches. Very Truly Yours Caroline H. Pemberton ALS Con. Ale BTW Papers DLC. ~ Caroline H. Perrkerton was a Philadelphia writer and social worker.

Theodore Greener Phila., Penna., April 5, 1897 My dear Washington, I found your kind note awaiting me here, on my arrival yesterday. I had hoped to see you in W. but have been away so long, my presence is now demanded at home. I have such a natural diffidence about asking influence, I really would not have applied to you, had I not found your letter as I told you. As you know me so much better than many others, mere lip service is not necessary between us. And yet I should take it as a favor, should you see the President, to say a good word for me. I have done all the work necessary to success; but I have found several times in my life, that was not all that was needed. Thanking you for your promptness and generous words, I am, as ever, Sincerely Yours, Richard T. Greener ALS Con. 18 BTW Papers DLC. 269
