Mayor Ivan Allen
City Hall
Atlanta, Georgia

Dear Mayor Allen:

When you were active in Scouting I had a great admiration for
yous I thought you gave us wonderful leadership and I was real proud
to have the opportunity of working with you. Never was I as proud of
you as I was after noting how you handled the disorder which erupted
in Atlanta on Monday of this week. You have given Atlanta wonderful
leadership and I think your courageous handling of the racial dis=-
turbance will do a great deal to prevent others from occurring.

I think there are very few who want to see the colored race mis-
treated. On the other hand, we do not feel that they should be per-
mitted to completely take over and have no regard for law and order.
In this respect, you handled the situation in a very noble manner.

My congratulations to you, Mayor Allen!
Sincerely,

HUBBARD PANTS COMPANY
