A mimeographed fundraising appeal over Garvey's signature. "I have tried for years to do the best for my Race, but unfortunately I have had many hard hits . . . I have had to make tremendous sacrifices and now I am caught to the hilt. I have had to mortgage my home and personal properties here to carry on the work of service to the race, but due to the lack of loyalty on the part of those who should co-operate for the general good . . . I am about to lose my home and all I possess except in the next twenty days at most I can pay off ten thousand dollars." Two years later, Garvey would leave Jamaica for London. with--a mimeograph retained copy of a dramatic telegram sent by the American Negro Labor Congress to Garvey while imprisoned in Atlanta. "Your imprisonment is an act of brutal persecution and an attack against all of our suffering people. We demand your unconditional and immediate release and urge you to fight against being deported." One page, 5 x 8 1/2 inches; worn with tape repairs and pencil edits. [Chicago, October 1925].
