E. Colton [Emma Goldman] (Toronto, Canada) to Comrade (n.p.)
Description:
Goldman writes that she is grateful to know that her work has been helpful to these two Chinese comrades, but states that she is too poor to travel to China at this point in time, however much she would like to see the country "in its present great struggle." She describes the theoretical vs. active approaches to Anarchism, and their relationship to Chinese anarchists. She feels that the spiritual, intellectual, and economic awakening in China deserve the support of Anarchists, if only to avoid the dictatorship that has occurred in Russia. She adds that she cannot supply the reading material the writers request, because most of it was confiscated by the authorities in New York. She announces that Berkman is writing a book on Anarchism.
