Waterford Va.
July 6, 1932
Supt. O.L. Emerick
Dear Sir:
We the patrons of the Waterford School write you to protest the sending of one, Miss Esther Randolph back to us as teacher. For two sessions we have put up with her way and last ear she said she did not want to come back to us. Our children were cowed to death and learned nothing. We would certainly appreciate some one that appreciated us and is not afraid of us. Her coming back will cause a great split in the school and create so much dissatisfaction. Please send us some one else or let us get one we know will treat us and our children like people.
Your Respectfully,
Trustees
Charles Coates
Thomas Lee

Title: [Petition (Colored schools) 1932 - Waterford - protest teacher page 2 of 2]
Description: Trustees of the Waterford Colored School, Charles Coates and Thomas Lee with other patrons protest Miss Esther Randolph's continued employment at Waterford. They claim their children were "cowed to death and learned nothing" during her tenure. They do not like her and she, apparently, doesn't like them either. They would like to have someone who treats them as people and offer to find a new teacher themselves.
