99 Claremont Avenue New York City 27 April 5, 1960 Miss Patricia Stephens c/o Leon County Jail Tallahassee, Florida Dear Miss Stephens: Through the students in Union Theological Seminary I have heard of your arrest and imprisonment. I write to tell you that you are not forgotten, that some of us here (many of us) are deeply disturbed over what has happened to you, and are remembering you in our prayers. Certainly the movement of which you are a part is a most significant one and is bound to have far-reaching effects. We hope that you will take heart and be encouraged during the long sixty days you are in prison, and come to feel that your witness is not in vain. Sincerely yours [Signature] Elsie M. Bush (Miss) Elsie M. Bush
