My dear Mr. Allen;
May I take this opportunity to congratulate you for your
forthright testimony before the Commerce Committee of United States
Senate in Washington D,.C.,recently and the fine words spoken in behalf
of the local Negro and white leadership in attempting to solve our
manifold problemse
We know that it took courage of the hignest order to speak
out as you did and one of the syndicated columists said that "Mayor Al-
len Jr.,or Atlanta broke the patternnof southern antagonism to President
Kennedy's civil rights program Friday by urging Congress to outlaw racial
dis@imination in restaurants,hotels,and other private businesses,"
Further as a city we have made much progress under your admin-=-
istration as Mayor of all of the people of greater Atlanta,and before the
end of your regime,we are confident of making further gains as a cosmo-
politan center.
In reviewing the resuits of the mayoralty race,we were pleased
to note that our Seventh Ward gave you a total of II,235 votes,and the
city-wide total of votes for your candidacy was 6h.» 227 votese
Please accept this note as a token of our appreciation,and
again may I say,-"Thank you Mr. Mayor",for your fine support of the
public accommodations section of the Civil Rights Bill now before
The Congresse
We beg to remain
Yours sincerely,
files. Precinct D, Seventh Ward,
