From Julian Bond to Phillip Barnhart, 28 May 1969

May 28, 1969

Dear Mr. Barnhart,

This comes to say how sorry I am not to have responded to your letter of invitation to speak last month at East Lake United. Until this past week I have been trying to keep up with the mail without the help of a secretary and . . . things piled up.

I hope you will understand and that you will ask me again some other time.

Sincerely yours,

Julian Bond

Reverend Mr. Phillip H. Barnhart

Pastor

East Lake United Methodist Church
