Thank you very much for sending your syndicated newspaper which I will pass along to the local commarades - because I want to thank you this way and let you know that my husband suddenly died and I am now alone as I lost my only son in the army. And to show that my husband was a good syndicalist I attach a clipping from the local syndicated newspaper. With friendly regards Waleria Chojnacka Julianicz" For complete collection information, visit the full finding aid at http://hdl.handle.net/1903.1/42557
