The note, believed to be from sometime in the mid-1960s, is up for sale through the memorabilia company Moments in Time.

While the note's sale price of $42,000 may seem steep, Gary Zimet, CEO of Moments in Time, says the price reflects just how rare it is to find a handwritten note by the renowned civil rights leader.

According to Zimet, King wrote the note after someone asked him what he believed was the meaning of love. Zimet said his experience of 40 years in the business led him to believe the note was authentic the second he saw it. But he also compared it to other instances of King's handwriting to make sure it was real. CNN could not independently confirm its authenticity.
