TLS signed “Martin L. King, Jr.,” one page, 7.25 x 10.5, personal letterhead, October 5, 1961. Letter to Ken Browne in Arizona, in part: "Encouraging words such as yours are of inestimable value for the continuance of my humble efforts. Our struggle is often difficult and the moments are often frustrating, but we gain new courage to carry on when we realize that persons of good will, such as you, are supporting us in the background. Although the days are now dark, I am convinced that we stand on the threshold of our nation's bright tomorrow. I've never been to Mesa, Arizona, and appreciate your invitation to visit there sometime…It is my hope that I will have the pleasure of meeting you sometime in the near future." In fine condition, with staple holes and a paperclip impression to the upper left corner. Accompanied by the original mailing envelope. A wonderful, eloquent letter from the revered Civil Rights icon.
