A letter of correspondence from Virginia M. Alexander to Dr. Edwin R. Embree written on September 16, 1935. Ms. Alexander requested for a grant from the Julius Rosenwald Fund, and she detailed her professional experience. Ms. Alexander had 8 years of general practice of Medicine with some limited hospital connections, but she dropped her general practice for disciplinary research because Ms. Alexander believed the time had come for a forwatrd public health movement for the benefit of Philadelphia Negroes. For her research problem, Ms. Alexander chose to prepare a public health program on an inter racial basis for a poor community in the large city of Philadelphia. On a different note, Ms. Alexander was a member of the Society of Friends.
