The Honorable Ivan Allen
Mayor of the City of Atlanta
Atlanta, Georgia
My dear Mr. Mayor:
Congratulations to you on the concerted efforts you have put forth
in securing a Major League Baseball Team for Atlanta.
Knowing that you have received numerous congratulatory expressions
on this subject, it is my desire to extend warm, personal feelings be-
cause of certain factors involved.
As a classmate and personal friend of Mr. Henry Aaron, I talked
with him in person via telephone on October 23, 1964, During our con-
versation, he asked for a personal opinion concerning the racial issues
in Atlanta. Having weighed the issues carefully, I informed Mr. Aaron
that I would collect a city survey from proper authorities.
In the meantime, I asked him to talk with Mr. Maye and at a con-
venient time, arranged by them, I would bring the results of the poll
taken to Wisconsin.
This type of survey, I felt would give an opportunity to discuss
each phase of the city from.many angles as well as from several individual
points of view, Mr. Aaron, I am pleased to say, readily accepted my pro-
posal. .
In regards to the information concerning the survey, I would like to
discuss the matter with you personally if such a conference can be arranged.
I would also like to secure materials, brochures, and other available
information pertinent to the matter of race relations in Atlanta.
I will be very grateful to you if you will give this matter your
serious consideration at a very early date so that I may be able to talk
with Mr. Maye and Mr. Aaron,
The Honorable Ivan Allen - Page 2
There is also a possibility of Mrs. Aaron becoming interested in residing
in Atlanta.
Positive reactions from you, as well as favorable comments from other
prominent citizens, I feel, certainly will be important factors in determing
the future home of a family; especially when that family is connected with a
team that will be an asset to our city.
I hope to hear from you soon.
Very truly yours 2
