Box 102 Phone: 652-2414Sherry, WisconsinThanksgiving Day, 1963Dear Pastor, You are certainly to be commended for your stand expressed over the national television news recently. I wondered what the outcome of your words would be and now understand that you are under police guard. I am, myself, a Southerner and have been much ashamed of 'my people' frequently in the past years, but nothing can compare with the recent shock of our president's death. Be assured of my feeble prayers for you. God keep you. In our Blessed Lord, The Very Revd C. L. Kimbrough Director of St. Joseph's House (Episcopal)"
