Title	Schnittkind, Henry T 1929-05-24
Abstract	Letter from Theodore Debs, 05/24/1929. Writes that he appreciated the bound copies of the STORY OF EUGENE DEBS that Schnittkind sent. Assures Schnittkind that he is pleased with the book as a whole but that it is not entirely free from error. Remarks that the reason why 4 of his parents' children died was not from poverty. Tells Schnittkind that when his parents came to Terre Haute, Indiana in the 1850s there was an abundance of fish and game to eat. Mentions that there were no railroads running through Terre Haute, Indiana at that time. Writes that the hardships his parents suffered were all part of life as pioneers. Says that the high infant mortality was due more to malignant fevers, typhoid, and malaria rather than poverty. Informs Schnittkind that Eugene V. Debs did not leave school because of Jean Daniel Debs' inability to support his family. Assures Schnittkind that THE STORY OF EUGENE DEBS will give young people a "better understanding of the causes responsible for the wretchedness, misery and poverty prevalent among the workers of the world."
