Dear Congressman Conyers,

This letter comes to confirm my telegram accepting
your invitation to join a national committee to
establish Martin Luther King, Jr.'s birthday as a
legal public holiday.

I shall be pleased to serve on such a committee.

Best wishes,

Julian Bond

Congressman John Conyers, Jr.
