Letter sent to Senator Theodore G Bilbo from Floyd Herrington from BelPine Farms, Braxton, Mississippi,<br /><br />
<br /><br />
February 12, 1946<br /><br />
<br /><br />
Senator Theodore G. Bilbo,<br /><br />
Senate office building,<br /><br />
Washington DC,<br /><br />
<br /><br />
My dear Senator,<br /><br />
<br /><br />
Enclosed is my check for $100 to help out on your coming campaign. Also, it is in appreciation of your efforts to defeat Roosevelt’s FEPC measure, a sorry piece of cheap political double-crossing that stinks.<br /><br />
<br /><br />
Would like to suggest and recommend that when the bill comes up to make Roosevelt’s birthday a national holiday that it be amended so as to make two holidays - one for the day of his birth, the other for the day of his death. That would give everybody a chance to celebrate. I regard Roosevelt’s birthday as the blackest day in American history.<br /><br />
<br /><br />
Anybody who can aggravate, exasperate and irritate those New York pinks, reds, and blacks as you have so well and capably done ought to be stationed in Washington permanently, and without the bother of an occasional election.<br /><br />
<br /><br />
Yours very truly,<br /><br />
<br /><br />
Floyd Herrington<br /><br />

Letter from Earl Johnston Junior to Honorable Frank de Barber February 4, 1964.<br /><br />
<br /><br />
The letter is on Mississippi state sovereignty commission letterhead which list the address as new capital building, Jackson, Mississippi governor Ross are Barnett, chairman<br /><br />
<br /><br />
It is addressed to Honorable Frank D Barber, special assistant to the governor, the capital, Jackson, Mississippi<br /><br />
<br /><br />
Dear Frank:<br /><br />
<br /><br />
I’ve read with interest you enclosure from Dr. Claude a Fike pertaining to an anti-communism Institute for teachers. This appears to be an excellent idea it would certainly be far more effective than occasional seminars in Jackson or speakers address small audiences, who already believe in what the speaker has to say.<br /><br />
<br /><br />
In my recommendation to Governor Johnson for sovereignty commission program during his administration, I mentioned that we could operate affectively on $200,000 for the biennium instead of $250,000 under which we are now operating in the $225,000 recommended by the budget commission. This could be done only if the sovereignty commission can use its funds for its own administrative programs and support of such necessary projects as the anti-communism institute. Under my proposal, we can afford the $5000 per year to match the $2000 in outside support mentioned by Dr. Fike<br /><br />
<br /><br />
Sincerely,<br /><br />
<br /><br />
Signed by Earl Johnston Junior. Director
