Dear Ivan,

This is simply to express my feeling of both
admiration and appreciation in the light of your
recent actions of courage and love for our city.

I hope that you will not again have to expose your-
self to these hazards, but commend you on all that
you have done and will continue to do to make our
town a better place to live in.

I thought you might be interested in the enclosed
article appearing in the University of Pennsylvania
Gazette, July issue. It deals with the problems of
cities similar to ours and points the way towards
some broad avenues of solution. Seems like every-
one talks about the slums, but few people know
soundly what to do about them. I am not a student
of social studies, but it does seem to me that we
are treating symptoms rather than diseases.

If there is any small part in this effort in which
I may be helpful don't hesitate to call on me.

Best to Louise.

Cordially,

Sau

The Honorable Ivan Allen, Jr.
