Dear Sir: Thank you very much
for your k.nd letter of July 4 and
for your invitation to the meeting
of July 23. If it is at all possible.
I will be very happy to attend.
The Roberson is the lirst case
In which I have had personal
knowledge of manhandling a pris
oner on the part of the police and
I could not resist expressing my
indignation.
I shall continue to use whatever
influence I miy have to see to It

a fair trial and the full protection
to which, as an American citizen
and as a human being, he is en
titled under the Constitution and
under the rules of common decency.
Very truly yours, (Ssigned) W
