Dear Mr. Freeman:
Please accept our sincere thanks for your letter of May 3rd, 1971, telling us that Dr. Ernest Allen Connally, Chief of Archology [sic] and Historic Preservation form the Office of the United States Department of the Interior, will accept the Louisiana Monument on behalf of Secretary Morton, the Department of the Interior, and the National Park Service.
We feel sure that he will be an able representative and that we shall receive an inspiration from his words. As soon as our program booklets come from the printer the latter part of this week, I shall send you and other members of your Department copies of our program. It would be wonderful if you could accompany Dr. Connally. I presume that Dr. Connally and those who might accompany him will be received at the office of Superintendent Jerry Schober before coming to the buffet luncheon at the Holiday Inn located on 516 Baltimore St., Gettysburg, Pa. 17327. The luncheon hour is set for twelve o’clock noon. We hope you can come.
Sincerely yours,
[Signed]
(Mrs.) Clarence R. Letteer
Chairman
PS – I have written Dr. Connally today telling him that I would send him a program booklet the latter part of this week with other informational materials.</p>
