Dear Mr. Nielsen:
Exhibit "B"
Book .68/Page 182
It has recently come to my attention that you have prepared and distributed
plans for revised parking facilities at the National City post office. I
am greatly disturbed by the fact that you have represented these plans as
being proposed or endorsed by me, when you are well aware that I have not
previously seen these plans much less proposed or endorsed them.
I demand that you correct the false impression which you have created by
contacting all persons with whom you have communicated regarding the
proposed plans, and advising them that I did not propose the plans nor do I
endorse them. You are also directed to cease and desist from using my name
in connection with these plans.
I intend to inquire into the legal ramifications of your actions, and I
assure you that I will not tolerate further actions of this nature on your
part.
Very truly yours,
GDORG H. WATERS
