Honorable Ivan Allen, Jr.
Mayor, City of Atlanta
68 Mitchell Street, S. W.
Atlanta, Georgia 30303

Dear Ivan:

For some months I have wanted to write an expression of my
appreciation of your many accomplishments as Mayor and your
outstanding contributions to all the wide spectrum of activi-
ties in our great city. I have deferred writing simply
because I was unable to adequately express myself without
becoming verbose.

After yesterday's exhibition of raw courage, I can only say
that I am proud of Mayor Ivan Allen and also of the true
citizens of Atlanta who have so carefully conducted them-
selves under extremely trying circumstances.

When the history of Atlanta is written, I suspect your admin-
istration will be recorded as one beset by more and greater
problems and by more and greater accomplishments than any
other. The problems are not resolved by any means, but under
your guidance, there is hope of ultimate solutions which will
benefit all citizens in our Atlanta area.

Sincerely yours,

— Ea ae
