Honorable Ivan Allen, Jr.
Mayor City of Atlanta
City Hail

Atlanta 3, Georgia

Dear Mayor Allen:

During the recent campaign for Mayor of the City of Atlanta, the
only signs I observed in the Cascade and Audubon Forest Subdivisions
in support of your candidacy, were in my front yard and that of my
good friend and neighbor, Bill Floyd. Today. I believe there would
be a solid wall of signs supporting you in any future political
aspiration you might undertake.

The entire Southwest section of Atlanta is well aware of your
courage, and that of the Aldermatic Board, in approving the erec-
tion of the barricades on Peyton and Harlan Roads. While this may
not be the ultimate answer in saving our homes, and one of the
finest sections of Atlanta from block busting tactics, it seems
the only solution at this time.

I express the sentiments of every resident of our community, when I
convey a most heartfelt THANK YOU for your interest, and the stand
you have taken in our behalf.
Let me wish for you a New Year of good health and even greater accom-
plishments in your desire to see Atlanta grow and prosper in an
atmosphere of pride and security for all citizens.

Most cordially,

an A Maye

on G. Maffett
