Description
An anonymous letter sent to Governor Miller. This letter suggests that African Americans should have never come to the United States, but that the people of Alabama could "wipem all out in a few days." Whether the sender truly believes they are guilty is unclear based on his insistence that the Scottsboro Boys be given a new trial so that they could be "framed up" on a more difficult charge than rape.
