Dear Dr. McClelland:
When I called your office today to extend a verbal invitation for you and Mrs.
McClelland to come to Atlanta when the Braves and Pirates open on April 12, I
was sorry to learn that you were ill. I hope that this letter finds you fully re-
covered or at least well on the read to recovery. We want you to be in good
health for your trip to Atienta.
The playing of the first major league baseball game in the Southeast in our new
Atlante Stadium is an historic event. Puiten County and the City of Atlanta joined
together to underwrite the revenue certificates issued for the construction of our
new $18 million doller, 5ยง,000-seat Stadium. Many important activities have
been planned to honor the Braves and the Pirates and your participation is greatly
desired, On Monday, April 11, at 8:00 p,m. a dinner for the Braves will be held
in the Grand Ballroom of the Marriott Hotel. We would like for you to be among
the head table guests. On Tuesday, April 12, at 1:30 p.m. there will be a big
parade in which we pian for you to ride. At 7:00 p.m. we would like you to partici-
pate in the pre-game ceremonies at the Stadium. We would like for you and Mrs,
MeClelland to be our guests and accommodations have been reserved for you at the
Marriott Hotel. You may be interested to know that Governor and Mrs. Scranton
and Mayor and Mrs. Barr have been invited to participete in the festivities also.
Since Allegheny County and Pittsburgh have been a major !eague community for
many years, I am sure you appreciate the great importence of the advent of major
league sports to Atlanta and the Southeast. We want you to join us for this impor-
tant event and we look forward to hearing from you very soon,
o
Sincerely, Au s
