ROY L. MORGAN
3900 WATSON PLACE, N.W. - APARTMENT 2A, TOWER B
WASHINGTON, D. C.
September 21, 1966
Dear Ivan:
Enclosed find a clipping which to me does not do you justice.
However, I agree with one thing, you certainly looked great in
the Atlanta racial crisis.
It proved what I always said, you are a man of great stature and
certainly you have won the plaudits and respect of all good and decent
citizens throughout the United States. I have heard many wonderful
things said about you and your fairness in handling this matter.
Of course, it is no surprise to me. I can appreciate your views
which are similar to mind. However, there is a breaking point, and
I think that under all the circumstances you were most tolerant
and understanding.
I wish to reiterate what many have said, that there was nothing
that you did in the Atlanta situation which was not outstanding.
You have no apologies to make to anyone. I think the article, which
I have enclosed, is a weak one, and not as strong as it should be.
With warmest personal regards to one of the best,
Sincerely,
Roy L. Morgan
Honorable Ivan Allen
Mayor of Atlanta
