Dear Pat,
Reviewed your card. Hope that you are well and taking your change of environment in "stride." Congressman Powell will probably refer to your card in his speech at [?] rally Sunday at the church -
The enclosed articles are appearing daily in the N. Y. Post. You and your friends may not have seen them.
Rev. Dempsey sends his regards. Also Congressman Powell you remembers you very well from the picket line on 125 St.
Regards,
Bill.
P.S. -
We are scheduled to start picketing liquor stores tomorrow (Sat). Wish us luck. We will have to pray for each other.
