Dear Fred: I have before me the last letter I received from you. It is dated April 12. I also have note of April 22. Can it be that four months have gone by without us exchanging letters? Well, I shall try to make up for this lapse in our correspondence. Your letters mean a great deal to me, Fred. I hope you will find time to answer this one of mine soon.
First, let me thank you for handling my membership effective May 1. I am now a paid-up member in the Public Service IU through December 31, 1979. It is my intention to keep paying my dues to the IWW and to write for the INDUSTRIAL WORKER -- until oxygen no longer gets up to my cerebral cortex. I hope when I turn in my tool checks, I shall die a member of the IWW in good standing. I shall continue to submit poems and articles for publications under my pen name Louis Burcar. When my name appears in the IW re articles or donations to the Sustaining Fund, it is better that it appear as the pseudonym by which I became known in the IWW movement than in the form of Louis B. Carrick, the "legal" name under which I now am enrolled in the red membership card I treasure as "Research Biologist," Card No. x 331947, and under which I write checks payable to the organization and also receive the IW and other mail from the General Executive Board. Fellow Worker M. Hargis now has this double name business straightened out, I believe.
[ In left margin: ] Fred: Please send me by return mail Frank Cederwall's address and telephone number. We are going to ask him to be one of the principal speakers on September 30 at Barnwell ?II? civil disobedience -- will pay his expenses to S.C.
