Charles William Anderson appeals to William Loeb on behalf of his good friend Dr. John W. Prather, who has been working as an immigration inspector in Montreal. Prather has recently been transferred to a post in Santa Maria, Texas, near Brownsville. Anderson fears Prather would be unsafe there as a colored man, and so he asks Loeb to bring this matter to President Roosevelt’s attention so that he might revoke the transfer. He apologizes for the intrusion, but feels strongly in this matter.
