Title	Viereck, George Sylvester 1919-11-10
Abstract	Letter to Eugene V. Debs, 11/10/1919. Writes that he received Eugene V. Debs' kind message through Mabel Dunlap Curry. Says that he is glad that Eugene V. Debs had the time to read his book. Remarks that he is sorry to learn that there is concern over Eugene V. Debs' health. Tells Eugene V. Debs that although he is not a socialist he looks upon Eugene V. Debs as a "great personality and leader of men." Says that he is not a socialist because he thinks that there is a certain duty to "surrender to the decree of the majority" even if he thinks that the action of the majority is "unreasonable and unjust." Mentions that he will vote for Eugene V. Debs in the last election only to express his "indignation against the Reign of Terror" that keeps Eugene V. Debs in prison. Says that he is like Eugene V. Debs in that he is not afraid to give public expression to his ideals. Remarks that his letters have been read by the Secret Service for the past few years. Assures Eugene V. Debs that his admiration for him is genuine. Tells Eugene V. Debs that he would be glad to send him anything he might need. Mentions that he does not think it would be a good idea to work publicly for Eugene V. Debs' release because the moment he opens his mouth the "bogey of pro-Germanism appears." Remarks that the only time he met Eugene V. Debs was with Leonard D. Abbott.
