		<salute>Dear Professor Billington:</salute>
	</opener>
	<p>It gives me a great deal of pleasure to endorse the candicacy of George McGovern for the United States Senate. I certainly hope he will defeat the reactionary Mundt.</p>
<p>Whilte the contribution enclosed is small I hope it will do some good. There may be other from this institution who will forward contributions.</p>
