Read from the scan by GLM-OCR; expect the odd misread word.
MARTIN LUTHER KING, JR.
## Para C:
I cannot match the documents with the list you provided. Please arrange the articles chronologically and number them lightly in pencil to correspond with numbers in a memo (see attached Memo from the DDA, 26 March 76, para b. It would be useful if you would use that format for all your memos, as the way you have done it is very hard to follow without making errors.) Also clipped documents have parts cut off of them or are almost unreadable. Can you provide better copies?
## Para D:
First document is a report whose number should be left in. Pls provide another resanitized copy.
Please delete dissemination controls in your sanitizations; otherwise we just have to do them over. Also classification was left on one document. See clips.
Please provide sanitized 1st a page of EX-895, 7 Mar X 68.
Please delete cite numbers from incoming cables.
Many thanks.
