My Dear Mr _ President : I wish to express my opinion on something which has concerned me great ly for months It is the assasination of Senator Robert Kennedy I wonder Mr President why this Mr Sirhan Sirhan is allowed a life to live when he has taken without reason or cause the life of a most beloved American _ Surely Mr President I realize that there are prob lems enough today in the world which require more priority 9 but Mr President can 1 t some thing be done to avenge this wrong doing Mr _ Sirhan? Mr - President I do love my country just as it as free as it but should Mr Sirhan be allowed to share my American freedom? I must tell you I am a 22 year old young woman with a strong feeling and have no doubt that this same feeling concerning Senator Kennedy S assasination is shared by millions of other American people Thank you very much Mr President for taking the time to read this respectfully yours , 16 6 712 EZiiz 7YA.&c/ Esther M.
