Mr. Paul E. Burbank
RFD - 2
Brunswick, Maine
Dear Paul:
In all of the mumble jumple of the Civil Rights issue I put aside
your nice letter in order that I could properly respond to it. It
was gratefully received, and you were very thoughtful to write.
It seemed like old times to hear from you and Ruth,
As you can probably realize, it has been a long and tedious
two years for me. Atlanta is breaking out at the seams with
progress and prosperity while the rest of the South flounders
in indecision, Our liberal viewpoint, however, subjects us to
the most vicious type of anonymous criticism as well as open
castigation. We kind of live from one crisis to the next with
the full assurance that there will be something else tomorrow,
I hear about you from Paul Buckwalter, with whom I still have
close contact several times a year. I certainly hope to have
the pleasure of seeing you and Ruth some times soon,
Just a word about our own activities - Ivan II] is married and
in the company business having a great experience, Daddy is
still in excellent health, and our business continues to thrive
under Bill Glenn's leadership, all of which is very wonderful.
Louise is in Europe, and Inman and I will join her in Nairobi
on September 7, for a month of big game hunting. I will be
back in Atlanta after the first of October, and this is the first
time I have been away in twenty months in office. I expect I
need it badly,

I certainly like the looks of the Two Fathom Farm and hope
that the pine tree forest is thriving.
If you are still interested in the airplane business, I hope
you will fly down to Atlanta sometimes.
Thanks again for your kind letter, and with love to Ruth, I
am
Sincerely yours,
Ivan Allen, Jr., '
Mayor
