The Honorable Ivan Allen, Jr., Mayor
The City of Atlanta
Atlanta, Georgia
Dear Mayor Allen:
I was pleased to be invited to the Emergency Convoca-
tion: The Urban Coalition which met in Washington on
August 24. This was a stimulating meeting, and I con-
gratulate you and the other organizers on your plans
and the accomplishments of the day.
The agency which I serve is involved in metropolitan
life in many ways. Through our Department of Metro-
politan Missions, our Department of Christian Social
Ministries, and our departments which work with minor-
ity peoples, both Negroes and others, we are constantly
facing the needs of persons in the cities. This con-
ference was of meaning to us, and I am sharing its
findings with our related staff members.
If I or any of my colleagues can ever be of help to
you and the City of Atlanta please feel free to call
upon us.
As a citizen of this dynamic city let me express my
appreciation to you for the courageous and wise leader-
ship which you are providing. We are proud of Atlanta
and we feel that your responsible leadership is a credit
to this growing capital of the Southeast.
Sincerely yours,
wis By. J)
