Dear Mike:

Your letter to me following the Civil Rights battle is a cherished possession. Thank you, my dear and generous friend.

Your are without a doubt the most unselfish, kind, and considerate man that I have ever known. It is a rare privilege to be associated with you, and I am eternally grateful for the opportunities that you have given me to make some contribution to our country.

With sincere admiration,

Cordially,

Hubert H. Humphrey
