The Honorable Ivan Allen
Mayor of the City of Atlanta
Atlanta, Georgia
My dear Mr. Mayor:
Congratulations to you on the concerted efforts you have put forth
in securing a Maj or League Baseball Team for Atlanta.
Knowing that you have received numerous congratulatory expressions
on this subject, it is my desire to extend warm, personal feelings because of certain factors involved.
As a classmate and personal friend of Mr. Henry Aaron, I talked
with him in person via telephone on October 23, 1964. During our conversation, he asked for a personal opinion concerning the r acial issues
in Atlanta. Having weighed the issues carefully , I informed Mr. Aaron
that I would collect a city survey from proper authorities.
In the meantime , I asked him to talk with Mr. Maye and at a convenient time, arranged by them, I would bring the results of the poll
ta.ken to Wisconsin.
This type of survey, I felt would give an opportunity to discuss
each phase of the city from many angl es as well as from several individual
points of view. Mr. Aaron, I am pleased to say, readily accepted m:y proposal.
In regards to the information concerning the survey, I would like to
discuss the matter with you personally i f such a conference can be arranged.
I would also like to secure materials, brochures, and other available
information pertinent to the matter of race relations in Atlanta.
I will be very grateful to l-tOU if you will give this matter your
serious consideration at a very early date so that I may be able to talk
with Mr. Maye and Mr . Aaron.
�The Honorable Ivan Allen - Page 2
There is also a possibility of Mrs. Aaron becoming interested in residing
in Atlanta.
Positive reactions from you, as well as favorable comments from other
prominent citizens, I feel, certainly will be important factors in determing
the future home of a family; especially when that family is connected with a
team that will be an asset to our city.
I hope to hear from y ou soon.
Very truly yours,
c. C. Williams

You have probably received many copies of the

that you did not, I thought you might be interested in
having a look at it.
We are all rooting for you. The news in the
paper yesterday morning was disheartening to all of us ,
yet I cannot help but feel that Milwaukee will realize
it has killed all chances for a profitable season next
year in that city, permitting the Br aves to be here as
promised, in the spring.
I would like to play a part in your endeavors ,
but you and Arthur seem to have the bases pretty well
covered.

I have been an avid Brave baseball fan since the team finat mowed £o

i gow: fate elty in 1953, The initial reception sun citizens cave the players
iL! always Live in my menony, I4 uns my feeling then, as i# is now, that
the move of the Braves fron Beaton £o Milwaukee wis the moat uplifting and
best thing that could have happened to the orme of baseball, This was a
new beginnings Soon thenengter the Dodpens moved 4o Los Angeles, the Giana
#o Son Franeiseo, the St, Louia Browns wert’ to Caltinone andl the Ala went to
Kansas City, Put this waa not the end as the Leagues realized zhat mone 7
fana wanted to umteh. The National Pastime in person, Then, tha onganization
of the new “ashington. Senators as the old one moved to Minnenpolia as the
Twins, The Angels, Nets and Colts followed, And row a new Light on the

I hive in the Atlonda Metnopolitan Anca, We want majon League baachell
very mith, if not in 1965, tien. in. 1906. The necent court action{which Lend
to the, National League's action), shouph, delaying, will not tap this Franchise
move. The National League wants baachell to nemoin a snort, not a business,

Gaonted, a dean must make money 4o pay player aclanies, groundskeopehs
telonics, Statism nent and have, soma laft over 40 impnove the ball club in
any woy Lt may aan fLt,

Now I eth you = How would you hava felé in. 1953 if the Boston comunity,
