User-Contributed Transcription It is disturbing to know that the Klan is active in Tampa but we'll have to take our chances. Do keep that [k]clipping. I hope you have the series. (I'm a librarian by profession - one of my four or five professions.) I see little use in opposing UMT - unless one's interest doesn't go deeper. Those of us who understand that things will only go from bad to worse until we get rid of Capitalism should pour all our resources of time thought and money into educational work along that line! "Capitalism is the enemy - Socialism is the only cure." I've long heard of "The Bible Unmasked" but I'm narrow minded (perhaps) also as to "Christ-killing." So many atheists, freethinkers and nationalists are rabid flag wavers (Joseph Lewis, for example - I tangled w/ him once at his forum in N.Y. on his patriotism and red baiting) and beneficiaries of the capitalist system. Blame my I.W.W. training. I've stuck to the class struggle. [on side] You should also send a 10 cent air letter for the (free) Prague News Letter, Stalinova and Prague XII, Czechoslovakia. Ask especially for their issue of mid-December. The lead article on Xmas is so superb I've airmailed for 250 copies. [on top, upside down] It's 2:30 am - an 18-hour day and I must get rested for another tomorrow. I must read the proof and make up the page dummy for WE 73 a creative task I enjoy. Good night, dear. Why are you so far away? F.A.B.
