Letter from Elisha Scott to Charles S. Scott
September 29, 1945

In this letter to his son, Charles S. Scott, who is serving in the U.S. Army overseas during World War II, Elisha Scott expresses his hope for better race relations:

“You will find a different Topeka when you come home from every angle—more pleasant, race relations better as I view it. Give my personal regards to the boys. Let me hear from you. Yours truly, Dad.”
