Dear Miss Amrit Kaur:
Mrs. King and I are still profiting by the creative moments
that we spent with you when we visited India a few months ago. Our lives were
greatly enriched and our convictions greatly enhanced as a result of our visit
to India.
We have had the great pleasure, since being back in our
country, of talking with numerous people about India and its lovely people and
it is our great hope that the exchange of visits between India and American
people will continue to grow as the years unfold. We were especially gratified
to know that President Eisenhower decided to visit India.
A friend of ours, Mrs.
Joseph Ress, will be visiting India in a few weeks. She is a person with deep
humanitarian concern and is quite interested in knowing more about India. She
has real insights into the vital issues that confront our world today. Therefore,
if you can meet her when she is there it will be greatly appreciated. She is a
very charming person with a radiating personality, and I am sure that you will
enjoy knowing her. She will be in New Delhi at the Ashoka Hotel February 19-20
February 23-24.
With kindest
regards and best wishes.
Very
sincerely yours,
Martin Luther
King, Jr.
