Dear Mr. #llen:

I am a southern Virginia, raisdd in the community of and as a second
cousfn to our ex=governor Thomas B, Stanley.

I read today in the Wakhington Post on page A-4 "Racial Conflict Stirred

Up by Atlanta's 'Wall'"., “he artitche makes the wall sound so anti—‘4merican
and anti-Christian that I wanted to write you for some insight as to

its purpose and place.

My widte is planning to attend a Council of Churches conference or
leadership training course on your university campus in July. How will
the bloackaded boads effect her travel? Will the barriers still be up
in July?

I do hope you will enlighten me on the situation.

Thank you.

Sincerely,

Mle batt

Clyde Carter
