To Julian Bond from David Johns, 21 February 1968, with Bond's draft response

San Diego State College San Diego, California 92115 February 21, 1968

Mr. Julian Bond Representative Atlanta, Georgia

Dear Mr. Bond:

The Planning Committee of the San Diego State College symposium on "The Campaign, 1968" was disappointed to read your letter of February 1, indicating that conflicts in your schedule preclude your participation in the symposium.

Should there be any change in your plans, please let us know. The schedule remains relatively open at this juncture, and, in any case, is subject to change between now and April 22. Assuming, however, that there is no change in your plans, the committee hopes that arrangements can be made for your participation in another series at some other mutually convenient time.

Sincerely yours,

David H. Johns Assistant Professor Department of Political Science

Dear Dr Johns:

I am sorry that I can't attend your symposium. My trips to California in the past have been enjoyable. I wish I could make it, but I am overextended at present.
