l(y son , Maclin , 'lfho is Chnima.n or the Nashville, Tennessee chapter of the Aoerioan Red Croas, baa sent me a letter t ram Henry A. Boyd, one of the negro leaders ot Nashville, and active in Red Croos work, relAtivs to hnvi~ a lfi~tory Ship n8JIIsd !or his Father, the late Richard Henry Boyd. I on­close c opy of the lotter herewith.

It does seems to me that his Fathor has a tine record of accomplishment and of fine citizenship .nich should be memorial ized. I shall write a letter to Adoiral Land, but I thought that this would be of inter est to you and I hope that you may be able to do something.

Faithfully yours ,

Dear lira. Roosevelt:

Upon rrr:r return to the city your note or ltay )0, 1944, aeking me to see lira. Albert Lasker anc\ 11>-. Kennoth Rose baa been brought to rq attention.

I find t hat some weeks ~go Mro. Luker tolked with some of the a:eDiooro of our starr who oxplainod to her the reaoona why the aet1v1ty in q1111ut1on had never been considered one in which the Red Cross should po.rticip~~ te .

I f you think I should talk with lire. Lasker &.."ld Ur. Rose, I ehall bo a lad to do so. However, I think H .,.ould be preferable 1f they would talk with our National !.!edicel Director, Or . G. Foard McCinnos .
