Dear Mr. Cleghorn;

You will never know how much the NASH-Washington Center appreciates
your activities and accomplishment in connection with the recreational
program at the Vine City Extension. The check for $200, which you spear-
headed through your generous column in the Atlanta Journal and the
Trinity Presbyterian Church,is highly appreciated. Mr. Eddie Murphy and
I will use the funds to the best advantage in this area.

Keep up the good work, Mr. Cleghorn! ‘There are many people who need
to know inside their hearts what goes on in the slums, and that they are
its neighbors. We have been thrilled, since our opening on March 29, 1965,
with the opportunity to coordinate services and opportunities in the
NASH-Washington neighborhood. It is a big job. With the help of such
interested persons as yourself, your church group, your newspaper and
others, we can do a small part toward the up-rooting of the patterns of
poverty.

Sincerely yours,
