April 18, 1904.

Dear Dr. Wallace,

On January 5, 1904, the “Vorwärts” gave a translation of your noble words, originally addressed to the Berlin "Local= AnHeiger" and finally printed by the "Clarion". The Berlin Socialists and Trade Unionists read them and about 40 Socialist papers of Germany reprinted them from the "Vorwärts". And now they want more.

The "Vorwärts" is preparing a 1. mai number and wants me to ask you for a short article. German Social-democracy will be very grateful to you for a few words of encouragements and guidance in their very hard struggle for a nobler concept of life. — Final term: April 26.

Address: Redaction des "Vorwärts"

Lindenstr. 69

Berlin SW. 69

Germany

With sincerest respect | M. Beer [signature] | Enclosed "Vorwärts" Jan. 5. with your article.2
