Dear Gerry:
We fought for many years. I find no pleasure in your present pass. I don’t know what you’ve done girls, but I do know what you’ve done with politics and you’ve got it coming.
I think it went wrong back in the RCP. You were ungovernable and ill-advised.
About the American Party Cannon came to believe that the greatest thing C.E. Ruthenberg might have done was to uphold the work of Louis Fraina, not become the “general” secretary. British communism was stillborn from its inception.
I am sorry for you, if you didn’t help kill those 21 Iraqi Communists. And if you didn’t, I wish you well.
