This is George, my beloved George. D'you think I want to go to my grave knowing that at the moment of his trial he looked around and saw no one lift a finger for him? If it is the death of me, I shall go to him."" Go then, " he said. "Kiss our baby good-bye before you go, and Henry. I shall tell Catherine that you left your blessing for her. And kiss me farewell.

If it is the death of me, I shall go to him." This is the last letter written by Dr. King to his wife, while imprisoned in Birmingham Jail. It was while in jail that he began to doubt his ability to stay alive and decided to use the time bought by his imprisonment to write this letter.
