Dear Mr. Allen:
I am a Georgia girl new living with my
family in Texas. I have been very preud
ef my home state in its attitudes teward
pregress particularly in the racial
situation as it exists in eur ceuntry.
New, I am disappeinted. But I want yeu
te knew that in spite ef the sick feeling
I have ever the cheice ef Lester Maddex
as a Demecratic neminee fer geverner of
Georgia, I appreciate so much yeur state-
ment which I heard en TV. And I alse
appreciate yeur pesitien and attitude
during and after recent racial tensien
and strife in Atlanta,
Altheugh I agree with yeu that the seal
ef the state preclaiming wisdem, justice
and mederatien has been tarnished, I am
preud te knew that seme Geergians...and
I refer te yeu and these like yeou...still
knew the meaning ef these werds.
