September 17, 1968
The Honorable Julian Bond House of Representatives Atlanta, Georgia
Dear Mr. Bond:
Please accept the belated but nonetheless grateful thanks of a very appreciative organization for your continued stalwart support of NATRA and for the extremely stirring address you directed to its recently concluded Convention. A token of our appreciation for the time you took to be with us in Miami is enclosed.
We very much regret that owing to the extended program of the NATRA Awards Dinner on August 18th at the Bayfront Auditorium in Miami, the Awards Committee was unfortunately unable to make formal presentation to you of the Meritorius Achievement Award we are sending you under separate cover.
We are very pleased to present this plaque to you in recognition of your outstanding performance in the area of Executive Leadership and with it go our heartiest congratulations and very best wishes for your continued success.
Sincerely, [signed] Del Shields Del Shields Executive Secretary
