(Student Letter) To Julian Bond from Scott MacDowell, 4 Oct 1968, with Bond's draft response

Scott MacDowell 1230 Briarwood Dr., N.E. Atlanta, Ga. 30306

Mr. Julian Bond c/o State Capitol Atlanta, Ga.

Dear Mr. Bond:

My name is Scott MacDowell, I am in the 11th grade at Druid Hills High School.

My American History teacher has assigned our class a term notebook on any national or local politician of our choice. At the time of this assignment you were active at the Democratic National Convention. I admired you and the way you conducted yourself, so I chose you for my assignment.

We are required to have newspaper clippings, and magazine articles, which I have been collecting. If we chose a local person, we must have the educational background of this person, Elementary, High School, and Colleges attended. I have been unable to get his information on you. Could you please tell me where I might secure this information? I would also appreciate any literature you might send me to place in my notebook.

I realize what a busy person you are, and I wish to thank you in advance for any help you extend.

Sincerely, [signature of Scott MacDowell Scott MacDowell
