User-Contributed Transcription [letterhead]ACADEMIE DE MONTPELLIERCOLLEGE LES GARRIGUES145, avenue du Comte-de-NiceLA PAILLADE 34100 MONTPELLIERTelephone 75.20.56Montpellier, le February 17, 1955Dear Sir,I am working on a book "The Winning of the War as seen through the Songs of The Time, 1840-1910", And I would like to obtain a xerox of the 1st, 2nd, 3rd, & 4th editions of the IWW's Little Red Songbook "Songs of The Workers - to Fan the Flames of Discontent" published in 1909, 1910, 1912 in Spokane, WA. Could you please suggest possible sources from which I could get photocopies. They have only the 1928 edition in the Library of Congress and and I doubt they store such material in Spokane Public Library, the town being such a conservative place (I know it by experience, I spent two years there)I read in "Sing Out - the Folksong Magazine" that the 35th edition of the Little Red Song Book was issued Last May - Could you please send me a copy. I have enclosed a check for $3, which should cover the postage by surface mail. (I have already the 34th edition..)Sincerely, G.
