Charles William Anderson advises William Loeb that the Reverend Reverdy C. Ransom has been transferred from Boston to the Bethel A.M.E. Church in New York City. Anderson says the conditions of the transfer seem to be corrupt, possibly made due to a bribe from newspaper editor John E. Milholland, and that Reverdy is “a thoroughly bad man.” Anderson thinks Booker T. Washington shares his view of the situation.
