Re: Pettway v. American Cast Iron
Pipe Company
Civil Action No. 73-1163_____

Dear Mr. Wadsworth:
Upon reviewing the brief which we submitted 

last Friday in the above-styled action I have 
noted a number of typographical errors which we 
failed to correct in the last minute press of 
events. I would therefore like to submit the 
following Errata and request that you distribute 
twenty-six (26) copies of same so that one copy 
accompanies each copy of the brief for Plaintiffs- 
Appellants'. The errata are as follows:

not rate but qate.

footnote 23.

43 Add at bottom of page the citation 
(Slip Op. at 44).

64 In the chart on this page the 
headings "whites" and "blacks"
