The Honorable Ivan Allen, Jr., Mayor
City Hall
Atlanta, Georgia 30303

Dear Ivan:

Please excuse me for the mix-up this morning. Your communica-
tion 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 solu-
tion 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 Urban
Coalition.

Again my apology for the trouble we caused you, and my appre-
ciation for the courageous and farsighted leadership you are giving
us as Mayor of Atlanta. I am especially grateful for your personal
friendship.

Sincere and gratefully,










Bevel Jones
