Dear Mr. Bond:

On behalf of the students and faculty of the University of Michigan Law School, I would like to add our invitation to that of Delta Sigma Theta Sorority. I hope that you will be able to add your distinguished presence to that of your fellow panelists at this reception in your honors.

I would also like to extend to you our personal invitation to speak to the Law School and to spend the evening of Septem-ber 29 in the Lawyer's Club. Each year, the Lawyer's Club Board of Directors, the Law School's student government, sponsors several informal talks in the Lawyer's Club by dis-tinguished men of interest to the Law School and the legal profession. During the past year we had the opportunity to hear a variety of distinguished men, including Dean Acheson and the Honorable Wade McCree, speak informally on topics which ranged from NATO to race riots and constitutional protections for criminal suspects.

I am particularly hopeful that you will be able to accept our invitation. While it will be possible for some law students to see you during your campus wide appearance and meet you during the reception, the opportunity to spend an informal evening with you will be most welcome to us all.

As a rule, our guests like to speak on a topic of their own choosing for about one-half hour and then entertain questions for as long thereafter as they might desire. In light of your prominence, I amsure that this would prove to be a stimulating and exciting occasion for us all. The Board of Directors would

arrange for dinner, lodging for the night and for your trans-portation to the airport in time for your scheduled departure. We would also be happy to provide a small honorarium of $150. I am sure that your welcome in the Lawyer's Club will be warm and enthusiastic.

I order that we might finalize this exciting program, if you could let us know at your earliest convenience how long you would be able to stay, we would be most appreciative.

With best wishes,

Sincerely yours,
