ATLANTA, GA., 30302

April 8, 1966

Hon. Ivan Allen, Jr.,
Mayor of Atlanta
Atlanta, Georgia 30303

Dear Mr. Allen:

We appreciate very much your letter of March 17
concerning the events and the opening of the baseball
season between our Atlanta Braves and the Pittsburgh
Pirates.

We invited the management from our Home Office
in Providence, Rhode Island but regret to advise that
no one from the Home Office will be able to attend.
Our manufacturing divisions including the one in Atlanta
were on strike for nearly six months and only returned
to work last week. The problems arising from such a
long shutdown and trying to get back into production
are so great that our top people from Providence are
too pressed to get away at this time.

Please accept our thanks for the invitation and
we certainly wish all our people could participate in
this exciting event.

Very truly yours,

GRINNELL COMPANY, INC.
