Title	Pendergrass, J.E 1919-12-24
Abstract	Letter to Eugene V. Debs, 12/24/1919. Writes that while he was pleased to hear from Eugene V. Debs through Theodore Debs that he did not intend on adding to Theodore Debs's already heavy burden. Says that no one can deny either Eugene V. Debs's or Theodore Debs's loyalty to the cause. Tells Eugene V. Debs that the Judases of capitalism do not even have the decency to hang themselves for their oppressive ways. Says that this is perhaps due to the fact that capitalism has dulled the minds of capitalists and robbed them of their conscience. Remarks that despite these capitalists at no time has such great strides been taken to bring about a truly free and equal society. Informs Eugene V. Debs that Jesus Christ was crucified for stirring up the people. Writes that it is for a similar reason that Eugene V. Debs is now in prison. Assures Eugene V. Debs that the notion of "Peace on Earth, Good will Toward Men" will become a reality in the near future. Includes poems titled "To Kate and Gene" and "Brotherhood."
