Hon. Ivan Allen, Jr.
Mayor, City of Atlanta

Atlanta, Georgia

Dear Sir:

I am writing this to you as a citizen and tax payer of
the city of Atlanta and it is hoped that you will lend your
support and influence, and hope that it will preserve the
community of white residents. This, of course, relates to
the "block busting" campaign being waged by the Negroes in
our section of the city.

There are three matters of utmost importance I feel
that should come to your attention and I would like to
suggest that you give the white residents of the community
your support. Those matters are as follows:

1. Keeping Negro realtors from seeking listings in
the Peyton-Utoy Forest Community.

2. Zoning of property on Gordon Road - M 1. This
property is located on the South side of Gordon
between Peyton and Lynhurst. The hearing as I
understand it is scheduled for August 9, 1962.

3. Zoning a strip of property south of Gordon and
east of Peyton for a Negro cemetary. This would
keep Negro housing out of the community. The date,
as I understand it, for this hearing has not been
set as yet.

Thank you for any assistance and cooperation you may be
able to give in this matter.
