The office of the Mayor of Atlanta, Ga.
Mr. Ivan Allen ( I believe)

Honorable Sir:

Several weeks ago I read a statement made by you or someone
in your office. I hai to read it twice to believe it, how-
ever it went something like this:"One hundred years ago

the city of Atlanta, Ga. was leveled to the ground . Today,
WB've built an $18,000,000.00 stadium on SOUTHERN SOIL with
SOUTHERN LABOR and with SOUTHERN MONEY,"

I want*to know WHY_ you don't man it with a SOUTHERNBASEBALL
TEAM?

With all that SOUTHERN Gab, I feel sorry for the Milwaulee
Braves,

I hope they don't bring any NORTHERN money with them,

Would it be negotiable?

I am not a “ young punk" neither am I an "old crank"™and I

don't usually get provoked enough to write “opinion" letters

but that silly, childish remark coming from the offices of the

City Fathers was too much- so I wish you SOUTHERN LUCK,

Cordially- an X southerner. Mrs Norma Parlier
