He's teaching American labor history in China & says he telling the Mother Jones story to his students. Says his book Mother Jones Speaks to the Miners will be out in Spring, 1982 by International Publishers.

Ed Steel hitting some interesting stuff for his collection of MJ correspondence. I was interested in the military intelligence reports on MJ during Palmer's campaign & the steel strike.

Went to Morgantown & read Lillian Burgess mss. Not much there but reports of MJ's visitors interesting.

Don't know what Ed's publishing plans are.

I've been working on proposal for publisher, outline & two chapters since October but I haven't the drive I had before surgery. Guess it takes longer when you get older - except for you.

Hope all is well with you & yours Have a Merry Christmas & Happy New Year
