From Julian Bond to Alan Simpson, 17 Oct 1969

October 17, 1969

Mr. Alan Simpson, President Vassar College Poughkeepsie, New York 12601

Dear Mr. Simpson:

I regret very much that I will be unable to address the Vassar Commencement proceedings. My lecture bureau has already scheduled an engagement for that weekend in May which will prevent my being with you.

I appreciate your kind invitation and am sorry that I am unable to accept.

Sincerely,

Julian Bond
