Co l e October 25, 1967 The Honorable Ivan Allen, Jr., Mayor City Hall Atlanta, Georgia 30303 Dear Ivan: Please excuse me for the mix-up this morning. Your communication of October 20, had been sent to my old address and was not in my hands in time. As soon as your secretary called, I asked Harmon Moore to represent me. He and I have just talked, and we are both excited about what you are doing. As you have noted in previous conversations with us , we are anxious to unite our efforts with those of other responsible citizens and agencies in the metropolitan community in the constructive solution of urban problems. Dr. Moore will present this to the Executive Board of the Christian Council, and I am confident the body will be wholehearted in its endorsement of our involvement in the Urb a n Coalition. Again my apology for the trouble we caused you , and my a ppreciation for the courageous and farsighted leadership you a re g i ving us as Mayor of Atlanta. I am especially grateful fo r your p e r sonal friendship. BJ/ j a �
