Mr. Julian Bond Congressman State of Georgia Atlanta, Ga.

Dear Congressman Bond,

Please accept my appreciation for the role you played in the Democratic Convention. Certainly the entire nation was impressed with your courage, articulateness and political promise.

I trust that your early nomination to the office of Vice-President will prove to have been neither a joke nor an abortion, but, rather, a promise of things to come.

Sincerely,

Thomas F. O'Meara, OP (Rev.) Assoc. Professor of Theology
