The Honorable Ivan Allen, Jr.
Mayor's Office
City Hall
Atlanta, Georgia
Dear Mayor Allen:
I Last wrote you on April 2, urging prompt con-
struction of the stadium. I want to let you know that I
strongly support your continued constructive approach
toward making the best of the unexpected situation regarding
our Major League Baseball Team. I am convinced that you
acted in full good faith, and that the Braves' officials
did likewise. It is unfortunate that legal action was
instituted. I believe that this was truly unforeseen.
I am pleased that you want to go to Milwaukee
to talk to the County officials and to try to work out
some arrangement that will give us some Major League ball
in Atlanta in 1965. If that fails, and I feel rather
confident that you will be successful, then I will support
a Milwaukee farm team next summer.
I again wish to express my deep appreciation for
all that you have done for Atlanta. I am writing a similar
letter to Mr. Authur Montgomery who wrote to me last April
after I had written to you.
I urge that the stadium be named Atlanta Stadium.
Sincerely,
Wo OP Bint
