[Letter from Jeff Davis to T. N. Carswell - July 6, 1943]

A letter written to Mr. T. N. Carswell, Abilene, Texas, from Jeff Davis, Pastor, First Baptist Church, Hallsville, Texas, dated July 6, 1943. Davis discusses his conference with Drs. McConnell and Atwood [F. M. McConnell, Julian Atwood] confiding that they were "very anxious" to get Carswell to "take up and carry on" and offers his support if Carswell joins them. Davis handwrites a postscript advising that "we have two Jeff Davises here" and requests that Carswell be sure to include the box number on the envelope.
