Typed Letter Signed to Mrs Edith D. Stellin.

Norman Mattoon Thomas (1884-1968), six-time presidential candidate for the Socialist Party. 1 page, 8vo. Not in good condition: fraying at all four edges, with loss to the last two letters of the author's surname. Letter addressed to 'Dear Comrade Snelling'. He explains in great detail the need 'to enlist support for an expansion program which has just been decided on by the National Committee of the Socialist Party [...] we have no funds to meet it [...] The program provides for a membership drive for 10,000 new members in 1933. The committee approved the extraordinarily modest budget of $50,000. It provides for the building up of a staff of organizers, a series of national radio talks, preparation of 10,000,000 leaflets, and other educational work'.
