Dear Dr. King:
This is just a note to tell you once again how much I enjoyed our conversation on Thursday.
With the thought that you might like to see them, I am enclosing marked copies of speeches I have made on the subject of civil rights in the past few years.1 I shall also see that you receive copies of any speeches I should make on this subject in the future.
With every good wish,
Sincerely,
[signed]
