From Julian Bond to Quillie Jones, 28 May 1969

May 28, 1969

Dear Mr. Jones.

Thank you for your invitation to speak at the class' commencement on June 29. I am sorry I cannot accept, because of a previous commitment.

I am wondering, though, if you might not like to invite Mr. John Lewis, who has been active in civil rights work for nearly ten years, and who is a very competent speaker to be your speaker. John's address is Southern Regional Council, 5 Forsyth Street NW, Atlanta, Georgia. His telephone there is 404-522-8764.

With best wishes, I am

Sincerely,

Julian Bond
