When Frank first wrote me about the defense committee he was working on I agreed that it was a good thing to do and especially not only to raise money for your defense but the defense of every other comrade who may be in trouble, but I do not think that he ought to try to put this proposition across at my expense which it will amount to if you insist on doing what Frank want you to do.
