SEPTEMBER. IOth, 1966.

DEAR. MAYOR. ALLEN.
\ I was verry sorry to see the oulaws had
come to your CITY.-- I hope you join with me, to try and
get our CONGRESS and SENATORS, Pass a law that will not
allow these out LAWS to go from state to state and cause
these RIOTS, and other disturbance.— Such as this great
NATION is now going through with.-- And them to get by with
it as they do.-- In many &ITYS they HAUL away and empty the
Buildings, Then set FIRE to them.-- And are getting by
with this kind of things.-- I have WROTE several CONGRESSMEN
and ask them to make it a FEDERAL law.-- To go from one STATE
to the other and cause RIOTS,-- And to put TEETH in the LAW,=
And try them before a federal Judge.-—-
Please write your CONGRESSEMAN and SENATORS. and ask them to
have such a LAW made.-- What a shame to let OUT LAWS come in
this GREAT NATION , And destroy it.-- While this NATION is
spending MILLIONS of Dollars fighting a WAR in (VITENOM)++«
I have suggested the GOVERMENT have some SOLDIERS on the stand
by.-- And ready in a moment to be on the trouble spot in a few
hours.-- And catch up the ones that are RESPONSIABLE for these
RIOTS.-- And have a heavy PENEALITY put on them.—This NATION
is a great NATION.-- To be allowed for the OUTLAWS to destroy.
LET us have PEACE,-— THE BIBLE SAYS BLESSED IS THE PEACE MAKER<
I dont think these people that are causing trouble are PEACH MAKERS.
MAYOR. ALLEN.#** I would be verry glad to have a letter from you.
And your VIEWS on this trouble we are now havinge
YOURS TRULY.
