Mayor Ivan Allen
City Hall
Atlanta, Georgia

Dear Sir:

I am proud, as a citizen of Atlanta, of your personal courage
and action today. It appears not only to be a "hot day" but
rather a power struggle between Black Bower or wavering black
power forces with responsible black and white citizens in between.

I applaud your courage and you have my support in what methods
possible to discourage the irresponsible elimate, and to encourage
responsible citizens to help this wavering black power element
realize that the only true progress for this city, and as a
result its citizens, can be achieved through responsible leader-
ship and law and order for its citizens.

I was proud of you tonight, and of the Atlanta Police Department -

those men, both black and white who were in the midst of a mob.

Yours truly,

Cela (8 Cindo~
