Item Eighteen

Letters sent between Christina St. James and her daughter Juliana Harris, dated March 1927.

Juliana,

Perhaps I did not make myself plain enough. I am not unsympathetic to a widow’s pain and desperation—I miss your Papa every day—but if you insist on whoring around with that colored man, I will have to take action.

Edward and I have been working with the Richmond city council to set up an official “team,” and we can not have you if you insist on living with Harold. If you don’t care for me anymore, think of the precious children you had with Arthur and how you’d shame them. They wouldn’t be able to hold their head up in public. Furthermore, the only reason the country loves us is because we’re moral. Consider the impact if we acted like the rabble.

Love,

Mama
