To the Editor:

Along with most of Middleburg, we were appalled to read that you had received a racist threatening note.

Those of us who treasure freedom of the press, and love this little town with all its wonders and warts, find it difficult to believe that anyone who lives here and knows its people of many colors, could be responsible for such venom.

Please know that we – and everyone we know – share your dismay and stand with you in rooting such ignorance and acrimony from our community.

Sincerely,
Audrey and Andrew Bergner
Middleburg, Virginia
