Mr. D.J. Flummer:

Dear Sir--I received your last pamphlets and they are all given out. I
want you to send me some more, and I enclose you the stamps. I think I
will go over in Greenville, Miss., and give my people some pamphlets
over there.

Yours truly,

Robert Charles

The latest word of information comes from New Orleans from a man who knew
Charles intimately for six years. For obvious reasons, his name is
withheld. In answer to a letter sent him he answers as follows:

New Orleans, Aug. 23, 1900

Mrs. Ida B. Wells-Barnett:

Dear Madam--It affords me great pleasure to inform you as far as I know
of Robert Charles. I have been acquainted with him about six years in
this city. He never has, as I know, given any trouble to anyone. He was
quiet and a peaceful man and was very frank in speaking. He was too much
of a hero to die; few call be found to equal him. I am very sorry to
say that I do not know anything of his birthplace, nor his parents, but
enclosed find letter from his uncle, from which you may find more
information. You will also find one of the circulars in which Charles
was in possession of which was styled as a crazy document. Let me say,
until our preachers preach this document we will always be slaves. If
you can help circulate this "crazy" doctrine I would be glad to have you
