C. Ho Daniels 499 Haldene Drive, S. W. Atlanta 11, Georgia July 2.5, 1962:: Honorable Ivan Allen, Jro Mayor, City of Atlanta City Hall, Atlanta 3, Georgia Dear Mayor Allen: I have been told that you, as well as the Aldermailic Board, are trying to help the white citizens of the Southwest section stay in the City of Atlantao I understand that a representative of Southwest Inco had a meeting with you sometime back to discuss the negro encroachment problem. Also that there is a plan to extend Westview Cemetery to Peyton Road and Zone a strip of land M-1 to provide a buffer zone for the white citizens of Southwesto I live in Peyton/Utoy Forest and it is becoming increasingly apparent that no one is doing anything to help uso Our area represents approximately 60 homes, valued at between $21,000. and $28,000o eacho This not only represents considerable tax income for the city but also contains many civic minded voterso Both of these factors will be a considerable loss to the city should we be forced by negro encroachment to leave the city limits behind us. I might also point out that as soon as the negros force us out, they will next force out the people on Peyton Road, Sewell Road, Audubon Forest and finally the entire C:-.scade Heights section. I don't believe I need remind you how many votes came from this section for you in the last electiono Were we foolish to vote f or you? Should we accept the negro encroachment and plan to move out of Atlanta?. I ask this because few of us will stay in Atlanta City Limits if our own elected officials do not give us help in our time of needo I would certainly like to have my confid enc e in our offici:-.ls restored, and m uld like to hear from you pertaining to your plans for the Southwest sectiono Awaiting your replyo Very ";~--Y; yours, cC• 143.215.248.55 H.
