Title	Robertson, D.B 1925-09-10
Abstract	Letter from Eugene V. Debs, 9/10/1925. Tells Robertson that through the kindness of A. E. Gordon that he was shown the letters Robertson wrote to Calvin Coolidge and the Attorney General. Writes that he read them with deep interest and sincere appreciation. Says that the reason he has not made formal application for the restoration of his citizenship rights is that he looks upon it as an admission of guilt and a forfeiture of his self-respect. Tells Robertson that he was convicted for exercising his right to free speech and that he would rather lose his citizenship than say that he was wrong by asking for a pardon. Assures Robertson that the actions taken by the Brotherhood of Locomotive Firemen will always be remembered by him with gratitude. Asks that Robertson send him photostat copies of the letters Robertson sent to Calvin Coolidge, John G. Sargent, and A. E. Gordon.
