Dear Mr. Nearing:

Thank you very much for your fine letter of June 21, 1966.

I am honored to accept your cordial invitation on behalf of the Braves
and I would suggest that July 17 would probably be the most convenient
date from our standpoint. The team leaves on a road trip immediately
after the game of July 31, whereas we will still be home on July 17.

Mr. John McHale, president and general manager of the Braves, will also
be with me on July 17 and he will arrange to bring additional members

of our front office as well as a representative group of players. I have
asked him to get in touch with you later on with the list of our total
delegation. Once again I want to express my thanks for your thoughtfulness.
Looking forward to meeting you soon.

neerelyy
