Dear Loni:

I hope things are going well for you. fhings have been
quite hectic here. Our new batryr just arrived a week and a half
ago. She is cute as could be. Once she adjusts to central
standard time and learns to sleep through the night, we will be
in total ecstasy.

I am writing with respect to your conference for civil
rights lawyers that is held at Airlie. I was unaware of this
conference, until Ira Burnim returned from Washington and told me
about it.

We would appreciate being added to your guest list and hapgl
to pay our own way. Ira is our real expert, so I suggest that
his name be added to your list.

Thanks for considering my request.

With best personal regards, I remain,

Very truly yours,

Dennis N. Balske
Legal Director
