Transcript

Dear Mrs. Stong, Form Paragraph #11 Thank you for the copy of the play "Listen America" which was enclosed in your letter, I am grateful to you for the time and effort you took to send me a copy of it. May I recommend that you send the excess copies to various libraries throughout the country as complimentary editions. Through moral support of persons such as yourself, we will one day leave the dark night of racial prejudice and journey into the bright light of freedom and equality. Sincerily Closing Signature (MLK.)
