Mr. Ivan Allen
Atlanta, Ga.
Dear Sir:
I am so very disappointed in you, as I knew
you in your work with Boy Scouts. My opinion of
you was such a good one and I thought you to be a
good Christian gentleman. I think your work would
be harmful to Boy Scouts now.
To my knowledge, I have never met nor seen
Mr. Lester Maddox. I heard part of his speech over
WSB, Tuesday before election. I am sure you heard
him or knew what he said.
I have talked to a number of people today.
Some of them are as fine Christian people as I've
ever known. After hearing you, these people all
say they will endorse what Lester Maddox said.
One Christian lady told me that she and her
husband were at a ball game in Atlanta several
nights ago. Two men and a woman on seat behind
them were drinking with rowdy disturbance. She
said they could not enjoy the game, as well as
other people who were seated around them. The
woman who sat between the two men went to the rest
room. While she was gone the men planned some lies
to tell their wives. These men were bragging of
their family and professional standing. One of the
men was an eye specialist.
Another patient from Bowdon was in my office
today and said almost the same thing happened to he
and his wife except the partywas in front of then.
I heard a salesman who lives in Atlanta tell a group
in my office a few weeks ago that he personally knew
Mr. Maddox and that he was one of the finest Christian
gentlemen he knew and that Mr. Maddox would get down
any time to help an unfortunate up.
I wish you could visit the Carroll County Prison
with me and see the results of what has happened to
homes as a result of wrong leadership.

Do you consider it honorable to endorse what
is going on there? Are you proud of what you said
about the good people who voted for Lester Maddox.
I don't think you and the Atlanta papers have
any right to call the one third million good people who
voted for Mr. Maddox such low types as you are doing.
Yours truly,
