Hollywood Maryland
September 50 1966
Mayor Ivan Allen
Atlanta Georgia.
My Dear Mr.Mayor;
To a Man,who as a stripling youth,shouldered
a Springfield carbine and wslked post down behind the old Atlan-
ta Brewery in the wee small hours of the morning, protecting ne-
groes from the wrath of the whites,which had been fired up to
the boiling point by the raping of six or seven white women in
just a few days-twas meny years ago-it is almost incredible that
the mayor of Atlanta could have made such a specious,scathing
attack on the primary victory of Lester Maddox. It was an in-
sult to the electorate of Georgia.I wehid not suggest that you
again run for publie office.
Lester Maddox is typical of Georgians asLonce
knew them,no hatred of megroes but strong feeling that this is
white mans’ country,to be run by him and that social intercourse
of the races has but mongrelism for its end.
Me thinks,Your Honor that you have been par-
taking too freely of that 'Do Good’morphia being handed out by
that socialistic renegade over at the Copstitution. and that
bunch of the same from Texas.I feel quite sure Clark Howell
would not have tolerated such 'goins on’
