ment, you will be able to make a great
success of the B c G. | have more
hopes of it now than ever before.

Enclosed please find money order for
$3.50 for 10 siV-months' subscriptions to
INDUSTRIAL FREEDOM for the mem
bers OF our union. Having the money
on hand. thought it would be the best
way of keeping up the interest of our
members to use the money for this pur-
pose. Give Us as full reports OF the
colony as possible: it will be the most
interesting part TO many.

You told NE in your last letter that
YOU beat Ruskin in population. Very
often quality is ahead of quantity, but
hope Equality has cot the quality and
the quantity.
l am sorry to inform you about the
condition of Mr., Bellamy. He went to
Boston to die: friend of mine, doc
tor, went with him. Mr. Bellamy is
gone beyond hope, he cannot live much
longer, but Equality viii live forever.

The initial number of Industrial
Freedom is before me in which
am well pleased. Though seem
ing radical red to plutes, it is
modest and considerable and for the
good of the dear comrades of Equality
and the welfare of our growth as crusa-
ders of Industrial Freedom. | sincere
~ hope such policy will be continued.
Example is better than precept. and
Equality is the example.
Long live the b G c and Industrial
Freedom, its champion of Cooperation.
Yours for aid.

The first number of INDUSTRIAL
FREEDOM came today. and | think |
have read nearly every paragraph
therein. including the ads" | like
the tone of it. 1t seems TO be whole
some, conscience free, not sneaking.
| like it because socialism is not minced
The colony proceedings are nicely item
lied. People at a distance think more
about these items, perhaps. than you do,
Little straws show which way the wind
blows. and from these items we who
are on the outside may partially Judge
OF your contentment and peace of mind.
