Tart, Dorothy Fredrickson case (names are not used in the letter). Tells Phillips that a Caucasian woman and her newborn baby both died in a hospital run by Mrs. Edwards, an African American woman and that Mrs. Edwards and Mr. Tart, a Caucasian, were charged with the deaths. Tart had been a member of the Klan three years prior. Hints that it is believed Tart was the father of the baby. Claims that the "Weak Protestant element aided and assisted by the Strong Catholic element" claimed that Tart was freed because of his previous Klan membership. Also mentions the "Alabama trouble" and that the Catholics and "so-called" Protestants are spreading propaganda to "kill the Klan." Local membership now down to 159 and most are "common laborers," that there are practically no business or professional men remaining in the local Klan. Wentworth has been in the Klan for about 7 years and is trying to save the local group and asks Phillips to come to Pensacola. See also 2016.035.030 and 0463-0471
