Letter from Richard Robert Wright to George B. Cortelyou
Richard Robert Wright asks George B. Cortelyou to confirm Wright’s memory of a meeting at Senator Hanna’s home. William McKinley was very kind to Wright and introduced him to all the ladies at the home. Wright believes it is important to make McKinley’s kindness known as people have been doubting his friendliness towards African Americans in light of President Roosevelt’s dinner with Booker T. Washington.
