Regional Director
National Park Service
Philadelphia, Pennsylvania
Dear Mr. Lee:
Thank you for all that you did during the dedication ceremonies at Antietam and Gettysburg.
I appreciate your taking the time to participate in the program, and the warmth and interest with which you accepted the monuments on behalf of the federal government helped to make an outstanding occasion for Georgians that we shall never forget.
I do not want you to know that I am deeply grateful for your kindness and thoughtfulness to me and to all the Georgia delegation.
If I can ever do anything for you, please do not hesitate to call on me.
With kindest regards and best wishes, I am.
Very sincerely yours,
[Signed]
Ben W. Fortson, Jr.
Secretary of State</p>
