From Julian Bond to E. Washington Rhodes, 1 Oct 1969

October 1, 1969

Dear Mr. Rhodes:

Thank you for your invitation to speak at the anniversary celebration.

I regret that I will be unable to be with you on that occasion as I have a prior engagement.

I hope you will ask me again at some future date.

Sincerely,

Julian Bond

Mr. E. Washington Rhodes, Publisher The Philadelphia Tribune 520-26 South Sixteenth Street Philadelphia, Pa. 19146
