June 29, 1961
Mr. Roy Lee Harmon, Editor
Wayne County News,
Wayne, W. Va.
Dear Mr. Harmon:
Would you please pass along my thanks to all those who were so hospitable during my visit last week? I would like to thank each of them individually, but there were so many that is impossible.
I have seen a great many civic ceremonies in small towns and big cities, but I have never seen one that was better planned and organized and all those responsible for it deserve congratulations. It was a splendid job.
I had a wonderful time in Wayne, felt much at home, and I hope sometime soon I can come back and visit again.
In the meantime, my thanks and very best wishes to everyone.
Sincerely,
David Brinkley
