MR.. FREsE's LETTER.
He lately wrote the following letter to
Chicago friend:
AVALON. KAwEAH COLONY, November ..
DEAR CoMRADE OLIvER-You have NO
doubt by this time nearly forgotten me, but as
koweah matters are being discussed in the
press just now you will remember my rashness
in putting good starter in the concern OF
which am now heartily sorry, in fact have al
ways been after the first impulse cooled OF
little. now write to you to request you 10
make all you have learned on the subject as
public as you can in the press. so that no more
confding souls may be taken in in this institu-
tion. because in the first place the moral char
acter of the men who have been in the lead
(MartiD. Haskell, Redstone, Taylor and
Chlistie) is not what will make nd build up an
honest, cooperative institution. They already
ignore openly that Kaweah is a socialistic COL
ony. which they have done privately for over
year, and have during that time succeeded in
getting lot of men and women here who
openly attack all sOcialistIc effort, having 3.
q. Haskell for their leader in denounclng true
men as Anarchists. Second there is more
hope that the colony will ever obtain a foot of
the timber land on which it must rely for
living. 1t is impossible for me to write you full
particulars, having lately met with an Incident,
and must request you to see Comrade
e. previously mentioned, who has re-
to request him to let YOU read their letters.
Also please inform Comrades Hunt and Jack
son, as well as all others interested: Tel proI.
cnnta;nin% q cart of Ietter 70 7 Marin
and that Womb like 70 see him come, as well
as all the kIckers who have hugely enjoyed the
reading of his letter, but am not able to do
much writing at present. Fraternally yours,
b. FREsE.
