Some racist letters showed up in St. Michaels over the weekend.
WBOC reports that police say someone living in the town called authorities Sunday to report finding the literature.
Maryland State Police say that the letters were inside plastic bags that were weighted with birdseed.
Most of them were located in the Riverview Terrace and Cove Road areas.
Police say the letters were apparently created by the Ku Klux Klan and expressed racist attitudes toward African Americans, the Jewish community, Native Americans and others.
The television station reports that the literature is being treated as a bias incident.
This is the second such incident this week with similar letters found in Accomack and Northampton counties.
