After reviewing Pearson's letter, Marshall drafted a letter on Murray's behalf to the University of Maryland's Board of Regents:

On January 24, 1935, pursuant to and in accordance with the rules and regulations set out in “The Catalogue and Announcement of the School of Law” (1934), I made application to be admitted as a student in the University of Maryland Law School September - 1935 and forwarded the prescribed two dollars ($2.00) by a P.O. money order for investigation fee. By letter dated February 9, 1935, the officials of the University refused to consider the application and returned the application and money order. I am a citizen of the State of Maryland and fully qualified to become a student of the University of Maryland Law School. No other State institution affords a legal education.

The arbitrary actions of the officials of the University of Maryland in returning my application [were] unjust and unreasonable and contrary to the Constitution of the United States and the Constitution and laws of this state.22

Marshall's request that the regents review Murray's application within a reasonable time received no response.
