Dear Dean Niebuhr:

I am a graduate student of Boston University pursuing work toward the Ph.D. degree in philosophical theology. At present, I am in the process of writing my Dissertation. I have chosen as a tentative topic, A comparison of the conception of God in the thinking of Paul Tillich and Henry Nelson Wieman.

If you know of any Dissertation that has been written or of one that is in process in this area, I would appreciate your calling it to my attention. Please feel free to offer any other suggestions.

Enclosed you will find a stamped self-addressed envelop for your convenience in replying.

Sincerely yours,
Martin L. King, Jr.
