G TY O, PITTSBURG MAYOR Mar ch 3- , 1966 Hon. Ivan Al _e~, Jr. Mayor Atl nta, Georgia . Dear Ivan: In line ·w ith our 'phone conversation of this orning, Mr s. Barr and I will be taking United Flight rumber 4 73 on Monday morning, Apri l 11th, at eight - thirty and will arrive in Atlanta at ten o'clock. I understand t haL. you have arranged for a ccowmodations for us at the Marriott Hotel. We are both self-sufficien-'-, so please do not put _yourself out . - know how busy you are wi h the affairs of the City and the extra curri cula:. duties connec'-ed with the opening of the baseball season in Atlanta . We have accepted the formal invitation for the dinner on Monday evening and Alice and I are looking forward to the opportunity of visiting with you and Mrs. Allen at that time. Our reason for arriving so early is that my wife is not a good flier and the only jet flight we can take, in order to get there in time for the dinner on Monday evening, is at 8:30 in the morning_ I have made arrangements to leave there on Wednesday, April 13th at t welve noon on United Fligh Number 386,. ~ I think the advent of Maj or League Baseball to Atlanta and the whole southeast will be a great boon to our national pastime. I only hope that you are as strong a baseball fan as I am, as the ownership and management of the Pirat es are pevsonal friends of mine . As you are perhaps aware, we are in the midst of building a ne·w stadium in Pittsburgh for the Pirates and the Pittsburgh Steelers Football team. With kind regards to you and Mrs. Allen, and looking forward to seeing both of you on the 11th, I am Sincerely yours,
