I Letters To The Editor Dear Editor, Allow me to congratulate you on the Christmas issue. It was tops; heard so many compliments. I am indeed grateful to you for your past consideration during 1940. As we start on a New Year, may the same consideration and unde.rstanding prevail. You deserve 1 credit for the commendable way in which you have mastered the sit- I uation- making the Northwest En– terprise one of the newsiest, most read and widest circulated sheets of the Negro P ress. Mary M. Duncan Mr. Edward I. Robinson Seattle, Washington. Dear Editor: Very probably this letter will not reach you before Christmas, so if it is too late to wish you and your family and staff Merry Christmas, it will be in time to say Happy New Year. I I have read in the Enterprise that your paper is for sale, also the drug store. Are you leaving Seattle? I think I have said be– fore, that I enjoy reading the En– terprise more since you have edit– ed it, I still feel that way about it. I am sure you get discouraged at times, but remember the results of your work for the interest of your race, may not come at once, but in time you may be rewarded, by seeing them get a fair deal. I am thinking of the very hap– PY Christmas I spent in your city last year, and I am wishing for a ll my friends much joy and pros– perity in the new year. Sincerely Lillie B. Harris No. 109 I B.
