Dear Pricilla and Patricia,
This note has been stimulated through the work of the American Friends Service [Committee].
I understand that you are students at Florida A & M and that you are in jail because of your demonstrations relative to racial segregation.
There are thousands and thousands of us who are much in agreement with your philosophy and practice. We are trying to do what we can. We are praying for the best situation to come out of this struggle.
Best wishes to you and yours.
Very cordially,
[Signature] James King
