Abstract	Letter to Eugene V. Debs, 7/1/1914. Writes that it was heartening to get a letter from Eugene V. Debs. Says that over the past year he has been having a tough time providing for his family. Tells Eugene V. Debs that he was blacklisted by the daily papers in Texas for fighting the "railroad and political exploiters" there. Remarks that he is now in St. Louis while the rest of his family is still in Houston, Texas. Informs Eugene V. Debs that yesterday the voters of St. Louis, Missouri adopted a charter for municipal ownership. Mentions that on the same day his wife traded some land for a house, the first one he and his wife have had in 25 years. Says that at 45 he is still encouraged that evolution to a higher form of civilization is possible.
