Dear Madam:

Your letter of June 28, 1967, addressed to the President of

Street, &. W., Atlanta, Georgia, has been handed to me for

reply.

In answer to the first paragraph, please be advised that the
Joel Chandier Harris Memorial Association has no intention

of changing its present admission policies, since, in the
opinion of its Executive Board, itiis not presently equipped
with staff or personnel to handie any other additional traffic
on the premises.

Please also be advised that the Joel Chandler Harris Memorial
Association is composed of dedicated women who maintain this
memorial to Joel Chandler Harris as a purely private enterprise.
The Association accepts no contributions for its support and
maintenance from any public funds -- either Federal, State or
Municipal, and reserves the right to determine its own policy
with reference to visitors,

We note with interest your improper designation of our Asso-
ciation as the GEORGE Chandler Harris Memorial Association.

Respectfully yours,

i frac, Vi Pahth
