From Julian Bond to Kenneth Byars, 19 Sept 1969

September 19, 1969

Dear Mr. Byars,

I hesitate to ask another favor of you and the business office after all you have done to expedite the service at my own office and home. However, I am writing to ask if you will look into the billing on my father's account, 755-7050, for Dr. Horace Mann Bond, 361 Lee Street.

For several months, my father and mother have been receiving a large bill with numerous telegrams and long distance charges. I notice the long distance charges are billed as "credit card" billings. Neither my father nor my mother have a credit card, nor does anyone in the family, except the one issued to my office number. Further, none of my family has ever been in or near the cities, to our best remembrance, at the date the charges were incurred.

I will appreciate any help you can give my father, and I shall appreciate your being in touch with him and Mother concerning the amount they should pay on the bill.

Sincerely,

Julian Bond

Mr. Kenneth Byars

District Manager
