Miss Anderson, Woman in Industry Division, Southrn Building, 15th and H Streets, Washington, D.C. My dear Miss Anderson: Your letter relative to the little story about the Negro women at the Bureau should have been answered before this. The story is a typical example of a lack of present day point of view on the part of the writer and an indication, it seems to me, of the need of,-shall I say, educational propaganda certainly among Negro women.

Among them was Mrs. Anna R. Grant, a rogro expert currency examiner. She did three peoples work for more than a week during the recent currency rush. More than once she went on at 8:00 a. m., worked all day an all night, until 12:00 the next day; ,staid off that afternoon for rest and went an again that night. From July o September, she has beon of inestimable assistance to those in charge by relieving other girls. She is to all in the Bureau, regardless of race, an example of rare efficiency and fine spirit. Yrs. Grant's husband is in Prance. The Yegro girls as a whole in the Bureau are very satisfactory. They complain less than the other girls. There is less insubordination amok: them. They are just as neat and tidy and healthy as the other girls, but as a Large group they aro not as well educated. https://fraser.stlouisfed.org Federal Reserve Bank of St. Louis
