| Summary: | In the first letter, dated January 9, 1951, Moore expresses regret over Folsom's upcoming retirement, and he commends the governor for his efforts on behalf of African American citizens in the state: "It is regrettable that you must retire now, however, you may find consolation in the fact that you . . . have served the little folk of Alabama, also the negro, because you have looked out for the interest and well being of both. Regardless of what old line politicians and staff writers may say to the contrary, you have won a place in the hearts of every fair minded citizen both white and black." In the second letter, dated January 12, Folsom thanks Moore for his comments.
