Dear Mr. Schell:

Thank you very much for your letter of July 14th
concerning the Joel Chandler Harris memorial
Association. Iagree with you that it is disgraceful
that any threats have been made against the staff of
the Wren's Nest.

Iam having a check made to see if it was reported to
the Police Department, and, if not, I will ask the Police
Department to offer its services to the Wren's Nest

asd assist the staff with any threats of this type.

If there is any further information you would like concern-
ing the city's action, I will be glad to furnish it.

Sincerely,

Ivan Allen, Jr.

times in the past twenty-five years. Without a doubt, the
Presidential Panel, on which Chief Jenkins is serving,

could use the sort of knowledge that I feel I have at the level
of major Negro-population centers-~Negro Press, thought-
leaders, opinion-makers and leaders of national and local
organizations and institutions,

With regard to programming, I have some ideas which would
involve the cooperation of the Negro Press and important
organizations, with whom I have worked for more than a quarter
of a century.

I would be grateful to you if you would transmit copies of this
communication and attachments to Chief Jenkins and Mayor
Allen, Iam sharing a copy with Mr. Jones.

Very truly yours,

Moss H. Kendrix
Director
