Atlanta, Georgia 30314

Dear J.B.:

I have your letter of February 12, 1968. Thanks for the copy of the speech. It's great, except the parts that raise hell with the Party for past injus-tices.

I will discuss with you the other suggestion mentioned in Atlanta this week. I will be at the Dinkler Plaza Hotel on Wednesday night.

Sincerely,

[signed] George Booker

Dear George:

I'm sorry we weren't able to get together this past weekend. I didn't get back to town until Sunday afternoon and then didn't get myself in any kind of shape until Monday.

How were the meetings? What happened at both the Democratic and S.R.C. gatherings?

Fill me in. Have your cute little secretary come into your office and dictate a 4 or 5 page report.

When will you be back this way to stay?

Sincerely,
