Dear “Phog":

Thank you very much for sending me a copy of your
letter to Dr. King and publicity material that you released
to Horace Mason. Thank you very much for your courtesy in
sending me the information in detail.

May I assure you that insofar as I am concerned
there is no controversy in progress between us, and I share your
opinion that a man has a right to stand up for his convictions
even though it becomes necessary to break into public print.

With kind personal regards, I am
Sincerely yours,

“TNR Gotta

F. Ahearn

P.S, I was sorry to read in the paper that you found the oil
burner had decorated you home, and I feel particularly sym-
pathetic toward Mrs. Allen who must Baar ee ly assume the
responsibility of cleaning house.
