To Julian Bond from Joann Taggart, 5 Apr 1969

4/5/69

Dear Mr. Bond,

I've been intending to write this letter for so long - never got around to it until now.

My plans have changed since I saw you. I applied to the Legal Opportunity Program. It's offered at 11 schools. I applied to N.Y.U., Toledo College of Law and Cincinnati Law School. I was accepted at all three schools and, I accepted N.Y.U. Theirs is a summer law instititute. & if it is a completed successfully, a full tuition scholarship ^scholarship is given the applicant. I'm hoping I have a choice as to what school I will be placed in full time.

2.

I would like to attend Albany Law. My girlfriend and I had decided to get an apartment there next year and I don't wish to forfeit those plans. But, if I must, I must.

Never really got in touch with your brother - sent him a Christmas card though. I would like to get in touch with him, since I'll be in the city this summer. Maybe I'll get nerve enough!

Well must go--graduation is only 3 wks. away and I still have trillions of assignments to complete.

Take care and Good Luck in future endeavors.

Sincerely, Joann Taggart (over)

P.S. Excuse my handwriting. I just can't write. Everybody complains about it - so if you complain you won't be any different than anyone else.
