Give word off greeting to my
comrades in the field. Tell them |
I'm never for a moment unmindful
of their kindly interests, their eff
orts and their good work We are
all lighting for our cause, each in
lis own place. At present my place
is not the most pleasant but | know
that much good is to come out Of
this by knitting the working class
together. 1t is through solidarity
that Labor will win its battles and
come into its own.
Tell my brothers to keep up the
work OF education, and agitation to
| the end that our Struggle will re-
suit III emancipation of the workers
Keep something doing all the time
| and we will win in the end

takes daily exercise and works to
keep in trim, he and his brother
| James are gaining in flesh and are
philosophically making the best of
| their surroundings in the county
| Jail.
