Cumberland Hill 1901 North Akard Street Texas 75201 Dear Mr. Rhodes: PRINCE WILLIAM COUNTY OFFICE 9302 GRANT AVENUE P. 0. BOX 534 MANASSAS, VIRGINIA 22110 Re: Dillin vs. Clements (703) 368-9231 I received and reviewed your letter of January 15, 1974 with very interesting attachments. I want to thank you for the help this gives in preparing and defending the lawsuit brought in this area. I was concerned with some of the state- ments as reported in the press conference, however, your letter and the supplementary documents attached thereto seem to clarify and make most reasonable the statements made by Mr. Clements at the conference. I will keep you advised of developments; and again, I thank you for your help. RHL/pjc truly yours, Richard H. Lewis q
