The Honorable Ivan Allen
Mayor of the City of Atlanta
City Hall

Atlanta, Georgia 30303

Dear Mr, Allen:

Leadership requires many qualities, and you have
demonstrated to all the world one of the most necessary: courage.

Your courageous action in being on the scene, rather than
simply behind the scene, and your determination to personally
assume responsibility in a dangerous situation, rather than to
delegate such responsibility, was noticed and appreciated.

The defiance of a symbol of authority such as you
represent is disturbing to us. As women vitally concerned with
the future - as well as the safety - of our city, we shall try
more earnestly than ever to be good citizens, and to do our share
to promote good citizenship in others.

Sincerely,

L fait a
