Description	This letter, possibly from one of Beth Taylor's siblings noted how proud they were of Beth at home. The author also reminded Beth, ('Bether') not to worry too much and to keep studying because having a college degree would help her work for 'long range goals and benefits too.' This is one of the many letters written to Beth Taylor following her participation in the May, 1963 sit-in demonstrations in protest of segregation at the Greensboro S&W Cafeteria.
