MEAD PACKAGING attanta,ceorcia

Dear Ivan:
I can well understand the portent of the telephone conversation with
your secretary to the effect that under the existing conditions you do
not feel free to be away from Atlanta the distance of an ocean and
therefore probably will not be accompanying us for our opening in
Holland. My disappointment is a minor matter by comparison to the
seriousness of the problems that you are facing and the gravity of
your responsibilities,
Nevertheless, [am maintaining your reservations, both airplane
and hotel, so that if by some good miracle everything has quieted
down, you can still go along with us at the last minute.
It would be very remiss on my part not to tell you that you have my
wholehearted sympathy in the trials that you are undergoing and the
support of everyone that I have talked to, not the least of which is
the support of the writer. If there is anything that I can do to make
life easier, please let me know. Iwill be leaving here around Sep-
tember 29 and only feel badly that there seems to be so little that’ -
the average citizen can do at a time like this to be of assistance to
you and our community.
With kindest regards,
Honorable Ivan Allen, Jr,
Mayor of Atlanta
Atlanta, Georgia
