Title	Mailloux, Emily Debs 1926-12-01
Abstract	Letter to Theodore Debs, 12/1/1926. Writes that she went to see Morris Hillquit to tell him that Theodore Debs disapproved of the Socialist Party's plan to raise $200,000. Says that Morris Hillquit had already called Victor Berger to tell him not to go forward with the proposal. Informs Theodore Debs that while she did not tell Morris Hillquit anything of her personal feelings for Katherine Debs, she did tell him of "Kate's cruelty from the beginning to the end of Gene's illness and her cruel indifference at his death." Mentions that she told Morris Hillquit how Katherine Debs ignored Eugene V. Deb's last will. Says that she also mentioned Katherine Debs' despisal of the working class and her refusal to let working people or anyone else visit Eugene V. Debs at his home. Assures Theodore Debs that she did not leave out the fact that Katherine Debs was "money mad" that she "valued nothing but dollars." Mentions that she told Morris Hillquit about the incident with Katherine Debs over the dividends from Jean Daniel Debs' $40,000 estate. Tells Theodore Debs that she wished that he could have seen Morris Hillquit's expression as she told him about Katherine Debs. Informs Theodore Debs that Morris Hillquit asked her to work with the Executive Committee in coming up with a suitable memorial in honor of Eugene V. Debs. Mentions that Morris Hillquit told her that Theodore Debs is "as worthy of recognition" as Eugene V. Debs and expressed the hope that whatever Eugene V. Debs's memorial was that it would help to provide for Theodore Debs and his family. Suggests that as part of memorial to Eugene V. Debs that she, Theodore Debs, and Ralcy Husted Bell put together a biography of Eugene V. Debs's life and sell it to finance a permanent memorial in Eugene V. Debs's honor. Asks that Theodore Debs send her his suggestions as the best way to honor Eugene V. Debs. States that she is enclosing a check for the money she borrowed while she was in Terre Haute, Indiana and an additional $200 for the photos of Eugene V. Debs. Expresses the hope that Theodore Debs and Gertrude Debs are beginning to get around now. Says that she also hopes that Mabel Dunlap Curry was a help to Theodore Debs in taking care of the deluge of letters sent since Eugene V. Debs. Writes that she trusts that Theodore Debs reaches Kate Crane-Gartz in time so that she does not "chance to pour out her purse" for Katherine Debs' Christmas. Mentions that she is still angry at the way Arthur Baur mistreated Eugene V. Debs's ashes on the day of his burial.
