Title	Untermann, Ernest 1911-11-24
Abstract	Copy of letter from Eugene V. Debs, 11/24/1911. Tells Untermann that if he must choose between Untermann and Fred Warren he chooses Fred Warren. Assures Untermann that Fred Warren would never have asked him to make such a choice. Says that if he yielded such a choice it would make him "craven, unworthy the respect, to say nothing of the friendship, of any decent man." Writes that since Untermann was probably laboring under great stress he is going to overlook his insults. Informs Untermann that he has no right to denounce Fred Warren the way that he did. Assures Untermann that no matter what Fred Warren had done it would not have changed Elsa Untermann's fate. Remarks that Fred Warren was just doing what he needed to do to protect the APPEAL TO REASON as any other man would have done. Informs Untermann that he is more than willing to help Elsa Untermann but not in the way that Untermann proposes because it is the course of a "madman." Writes that he has no stomach for domestic scandals. Says that he thinks that it is wrong to make the injustice that has been done to Elsa Untermann a party affair because it only lead to an everlasting "seal of condemnation" on her reputation. Remarks that if Elsa Untermann has been wronged it is because of one man and he must be held accountable. Tells Untermann that if he continues to press the Socialist Party to involve itself in this matter that he will be placed under public scrutiny. Says that while he sympathizes with Untermann he cannot join him in exploiting his daughter's misfortune and condemning innocent men.
