Dear Mrs. Shriver:

The Milwaukee Chapter of Delta Sigma Theta National
Sorority has a particular commitment to mental health and
hygiene. Since you, too, have special interests in this
area, we would like very much to have you as our guest and
speaker during Mental Health Week this year.

As you know, Mental Health Week runs from May 1 through
May 7, 1968. I understand that you are often in Wisconsin at
this time of year and I hope that you will consider joining
us, either for a luncheon or a dinner meeting on either
Thursday, May 2 or Friday, May 3.

The president of Delta Sigma Theta here in Milwaukee is
Mrs. James Fields, of 2635 North 8 Street. You may reply
either directly to her, or to me; and, as I said, we would
certainly be most honored to have you as our guest.

Hoping to hear from you soon, I am,

Sincerely yours,

VEL R. PHILLIPS
Alderman, 6th Ward
