The Honorable Ivan Allen, Jr,
Mayor of the City of Atlanta
City Hall

Atlanta, Georgia

Dear Ivan;

Your willingness to meet issues without regard to your

well being is certainly an act of heroism, but it is also
an act of judgment and counsel and I glory in your willing-
ness to meet issues, four square,

The time has come when we in this country as well as
throughout the world will have to realize that the liberties
that were guaranteed to us are not the same as they were
when the Founding Fathers wrote the Declaration of Independ-
ence, etc,

It seems to me that groups now should be represented by some
head rather than mob rule and this is what we have and which
is being sanctioned, directly or indirectly, by those who
don't realize the consequences,

How can an individual meet mob rule when they are throwing
rocks, Molotov cocktails and any other weapon at hand, with-
out regard to life, Liberty and the pursuit of happiness.

Here's an opportunity, Ivan, for you to bldZe the trail.
