Title	Steffes, John G 1918-05-06
Abstract	Letter to Eugene V. Debs, 05/06/1918. Writes that he and his wife are both 70 years old and in failing health. Says that he has accumulated property worth $15,000. Tells Eugene V. Debs that he would like to will this property to the Socialist Party. Remarks that he thinks that it is best to transfer the property to the Socialist Party while he is still in sound mind so that there is less likelihood of his will being contested after he dies. Informs Eugene V. Debs that the property is the same one that used to be serve as the home of the Ruskin Colony. Says that he would like to give the land to be used for a new Socialist Party headquarters, an industrial school for the Rand School, or for some other like purpose.
