Moses Dickson is writing to Senator Bruce for his opinion on what needs to be done to keep African American support for the Republican Party. He mentions that those African Americans that are in office in 1877 have become less effective and he wishes to know what can be done to change this. There is a tear in the upper portion of the letter, as well as some paper folding over along the bottom edge of the paper.
