 Remember Joe Kalar vaguely from New Masses, anvil, and so forth - read a novel by Ben Field I found in library -

about Jewish farmers in upstate New York - I suppose Mike Gold has passed on, don't hear about him - and whatever became of old Paul Robeson? Brendan Behan classed Robeson as "a great American" which he was - and still is, I hope - was re-reading biography of "Nicholas II" and how the Czar supported & encouraged rabble-rousing priests to mislead the masses and foment riots - you think our governmint [sic] is behind Jesus Freaks, Or, Rasputin Billy Graham, Oral Roberts and such? I think it is a good chance these religious freaks get financial backing from other than their street corner & rally collections. Keep Americans stoopid! [sic]

 Happy post- St. Patrick's day - and soon be time to pick poke sallit [sic] greens.
 My daughter getting married this summer in the hills of West Virginny - to a nice W. Va. fellow - his folks still live

back in W. Va., altho [sic] his mother lives in Alexandria - they plan an outdoor-picnic wedding in the park - or forest - Your Presidential ticket no worse than the real one - maybe better. Salud, JCR/
