Dear Mr. Long,

This is in response to your letter of November 2. Please
forgive me for taking so long to answer. My lateness
was necessitated by having to locate funds for your
maintenance during your stay in Atlanta.

We have reached an agreement with the Voter Education
Project which will provide you with a stipend of $160
each for the period of your stay, or $40 weekly. We
will attempt to locate housing for you; transportation
within the city is a relatively easy affair.

If this fits your expectations, you should plan to be in
Atlanta by January 4 and should report to my office at
361 Lee Street, SW. I hope by then by meeting with the
other black legislators to have arranged a work schedule
for you.

I wonder if I could ask each of you to send a one page
biography so that we might have some better idea of your
skills and capabilities.

Sincerely,

Julian Bond

Mr. Harry W. Long, Jr.

p.s. From the $40 weekly must come your housing and food.
