George S. Mitchell writes to Helen Gahagan Douglas thanking her for sending copies of "The "Negro" Soldier" and expressing interest in obtaining more copies for distribution in the South. Mitchell mentions the work of the Southern Regional Council in supporting education and training opportunities for veterans, particularly African American veterans. He also discusses encountering the negative effects of speeches by Senators Eastland and Bilbo in their work. Mitchell offers to pay for additional copies of the pamphlet and praises its quality.
