Description
In the letter Levy expresses his support for the governor and her husband amid the racial tension in the state: "The North resents negro rioting, and the negro declaration of war against the whites...The North needs a strong man to safeguard white rights and enforce laws." He suggests that Southern men wear Confederate army coats and play "The Bonnie Blue Flag," a Confederate marching song; he includes the chorus and a stanza of the song. A note at the top of the letter says, "Geo Wallace for President."
