Thoedore Debs letter to Frank P. O'Hare - October 15, 1920
Transcript
Terre Haute, [October] 15th, 1920. My dear Frank:- When yours of the 4th (which did not reach here, I am told, until the 7th.) came I was absent from the city and when I got back it was too late to get you anything for the 10th., the day of going to press. I am enclosing a short article, nothing to boast of which may come in handy for your next issue. Yes, Bransetter told me the same thing that he told you regarding the release of P. P. There are and have been so many reports of that nature in circulation that I give little credence to them. However, I am of the opinion that the ginks at Washington will soon be forced to act. The pressure is getting too strong, the reaction has set in, public sentiment is changing and the people are beginning to understand the injustice of it all, and that is the thing that will force action of the part of the politicians. Love to you and Comrade Kate and the Kids, Yours always Theodore
