Yep. It was a personal letter from the President of the ABA, but not an official letter. Meanwhile, the media certainly ran with this one, didn't they?
The Senate Judiciary Committee released this letter on Friday from the ABA stating that Robert Carlson, the President of the American Bar Association who wrote the letter, didn’t get the it approved by the committee that actually votes on this sort of thing and that the ABA’s rating of Judge Kavanaugh “is not affected”:
“The correspondence by Robert Carlson, President of the American Bar Association…was not received by the American Bar Association’s Standing Committee on the Federal Judiciary prior to its issuance…The ABA’s rating for Judge Kavanaugh is not affected by Mr. Carlson’s letter.” pic.twitter.com/d8oYYGFcK1

Which all means Judge Kavanaugh STILL has the ABA’s highest rating:
This is a big deal. The ABA previously gave Kavanaugh its highest rating of unanimous, "well-qualified" for the Supreme Court. Today changed that. https://t.co/TqMdohC2y0
