Martin luther king wife death

I am at the State Prison in Reidsville which is about miles from Atlanta. I can assure you that it is extremely difficult for me to think of being away from you and my Yoki and Marty for four months, but I am asking God hourly to give me the power of endurance. I have the faith to believe that this excessive suffering that is now coming to our family will in some little way serve to make Atlanta a better city, Georgia a better state, and America a better country.

Just how I do not yet know, but I have faith to believe it will. If I am correct then our suffering is not in vain. I understand that I can have visitors twice a month—the second and fourth Sunday.

However, I understand that everybody—white and colored—can have visitors this coming Sunday. I hope you can find some way to come down. I know it will be a terrible inconvenience in your condition, but I want to see you and the children very badly. Also ask Wyatt to come. There are some very urgent things that I will need to talk with him about.

Give my best regards to all the family.
