Title	Kruse, Williaim n.d.
Abstract	Letter to Eugene V. Debs, n.d. Asks that Eugene V. Debs not believe Otto Branstetter's article which said that he and J. Louis Engdahl are enemies of the working class. Tells Eugene V. Debs that he and J. Louis Engdahl are leaving the Socialist Party because they no longer wanted to be perceived as a disruptive force in the movement. Mentions that he does not approve of the Socialist Party's turn toward the "right." Says that people like him and Engdahl are not "statist, social-solidarity, social democrats of the German majoritaire, Branstetter-Berger" type of socialist but the "left-wing, class-struggle, social revolutionist" type of socialist. Mentions that as soon as the Socialist Party made it a "crime" to espouse the cause of the Russian communists that he realized that he and the Socialist Party were no longer compatible. Writes that when he saw the President he was practically assured that Eugene V. Debs would be released from prison when peace was declared.
