Assures Eugene V. Debs that he was missed. Remarks that at the mass meetings there was an oil painting of Eugene V. Debs by Martin B. Leisser on display. Writes that if Eugene V.

Remarks that currently the painting is on display at one of Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania finest art galleries. Mentions that it will be shipped to Eugene V. Debs in the next couple of weeks. Says as the chairman of the convention he received many compliments. Tells Eugene V. Debs that the comrades of Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania helped the organizing committee meet all of the convention's expenses. Writes that all of the meetings were well attended. Mentions that Morris Hillquit's speech before the "Hungrey Club" was a "masterpiece" enabling 800 of Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania's engineers, lawyers, doctors, and businessmen to gain an appreciation of the socialist point of view. Writes that he was elected to the National Executive Committee during the convention. Expresses the hope that he can live up to the responsibility placed upon him. Says that he is sending Eugene V.
