A Letter to James P. Cannon[1]
16 January, 1940
Dear Friend,
What miserable writing is Shachtman’s open letter. Its only merit is that it obliged me to tell him the full truth about his politics. My answer is already dictated, I have only to polish it. Unfortunately, it will not be shorter than my letter to Burnham.
L.T.
