Backs censorship fight
Enclosed is a check for $50. I have been sending the occasional postcard to the Cuban Five from my breaks in Europe. In my recent card from Paris to Gerardo Hernández, I mentioned that I would be sending a contribution to the defense efforts to get the Militant into Florida prisons where it was blocked. Hence, here is my contribution.

Sent from Army Post Office

Prisoners’ access to ‘Militant’
I am a grain farmer from Wisconsin. I listen to public radio a lot when I am in the combine harvesting corn and beans. This fall NPR was having their fund drive and I normally send $100 to them.

Their fall fund drive was taking place at the same time that the Militant was fighting to have prisoners’ access to the paper restored. I think my $100 would be better spent sending the Militant to prisoners. A check is enclosed.

I think many of the people in prison don’t belong there and I think it would be good for them to have a newspaper written from a workers’ perspective.

Reporting on Korean War
Some months back, your three articles on the Korean War were some of the finest reporting I’ve ever seen. [See issues no. 33-35 in 2013.] In spite of years of study (and teaching) history and politics, I never knew that Roosevelt, Stalin and Churchill conspired to carve up the world — starting with the virtual genocide of the Korean people. I’m sharing these three copies with friends of mine. Thanks.
