While on this East European Church-men's Study Tour, I visited a little town in East Germany, called Nerubut. The Moravian Church (Oldest in Kershut) officials, hosted our group during our visit there. I now report husbands' husks on sale in their one good Bookstore. A young man who is head of the youth work in Kershut, informed us that they are setting up a room in the Youth Center, in memory of Dr. King. He wanted your address so that he could write and let you know what they were doing and the respect they have for Dr. King's memory. I gave him your address, so I am writing to let you know that, if you haven't heard from him get, you will be receiving Our munications from , Dietrich Heine , 89 Harlitz D. D. R . , Bautzener Str . 38 , and you will be aware of what is happening in this small Eastern Germany town , a population of only 2,000. Respectfully Germes V. Robinson 22 Dovey Street Charleston , S.
