Lawrence, Ivans., Sept. 24, 1917.
Rev. John Albert Williams, Pastor of
the Colored Church of St. Philip:
My Dear Brother in Christ—I now
take the pleasure in writing you in
the behaves of my son, Larkin Mc
Cloud. I have the clipping your phper
there and I must say it is nothing but
the Holy Spirit that has reveiled )t ;
unto you Colored brothering to defend j
this poor boy. There is no one that ►
feels this burden like a mother and I
can’t believe that I borned a mur- I
derer in the world even if they find i
him guilty. 1 can’t believe that my j
son is guilty of anything like that. I j
am afraid this is another St. Joe, Mo., ;
scrape, but the beautie of it they :
d'dn’t convict the wrong man if they
didn’t get the rite one. My son is not I
an outcast. He had a good home and
he went away last April to work and j
1 have never heard of him since until j
I heard of this. I had been in the
hospital all last year and it took all
we had and he went to work in order
to get more wages so he might help
his father and I more. If you see that
I can help you any way ecept finince
let me know. We haven’t anything
finince my husband is old and getting
frail and spent every thing we had
trying to save my eyesight, but if my
comming to see the boy will do any
good you let me know and perhaps
the Lord will open tfie way for me
.-ome way that 1 may get there. May
God bless you is my prayer. We are
strangers here but not in Christ.
