Which of the clergymen's statements does king report reading in the first sentence of the letter? in your own words, what does the statement say about king's work?

From the text:

While confined here in the Birmingham city jail, I came across your recent statement calling my present activities "unwise and untimely."

From the text we can infer that King's actions were based upon need.... not someone else's view of when and where he should act on those things he deemed necessary to address.

In your own words what does the "statement" say about king's work?
