From Julian Bond to James Burkhart, 30 Sept 1968

September 30, 1968

Dear sir,

Please excuse my lateness in replying to your kind letter.

I am not an efficient man; the only other occasion upon which I tried to conduct an experiment like the one you describe I completely forgot it.

In the interest of not doing so again, I believe I had better decline, with apologies.

Sincerely,

Julian Bond

Mr. James A. Burkhart Professor of Political Science Stephens College Columbia, Missouri 65201
