Letter from Ernestine Lee to MLK

Transcript

[Inserted text in top right margin: 11-7-[19]67] Dear Dr. King I know this is probably the smallest contribution [Crossed out: MS: illegible] you have so far received. But its small only because I?am [I am] a child of fourteen but I had to send something. Along with this contribution comes a prayer that God will bless and keep your wife and children. Also every member of this organization. And if [Crossed out: chir] Christ is willing you will continue to receive my contribution, I?d like to contribute more tho [though] I?am [I am] going to also donate to the ?Save the Children Federation? I listen to your speeches nearly every Sunday and I pray for this organization to continue. Now I?d like for you to pray a prayer for me, that God will bless me so I can continue to contribute. I do believe you will pray for me. Thany [Thank] You Sincerely Ernestine Lee
