21 Washington Sq. N

New York, N.Y.

May 5, 1960

Dear Mr. Carney:

Patricia writes me that you will be free [tomorrow]. I can't believe that 60 days have gone by (of course you can!) or have they shortened your term? Anyway I'm sorry I didn't get a note of encouragement off to you long ago and I hope this will reach you.

We do admire your spirit and your cause and hope this whole "thing" moves along fast and that it will not be too long before Southern + some Northern whites wonder why they permitted segregation [?] all these years.

[?] will be able to meet you [?]. All good wishes!
