Transcription & mark-up by Einde O’Callaghan for ETOL.
Evelyn Reed’s articles on woman’s role in society in the Spring and Summer issues of Fourth International continue to attract much interest. St. Paul Literature Agent Winifred Nelson writes:
“We have very much appreciated the articles on the woman question. We had a discussion on the first article last Wednesday night, and Thursday when the new FI came, I sat down and read her article right away!
“Discussion stimulates reading, you know, and vice versa. And these articles on the woman question are new, although dealing with an old, old subject, and different from anything we have had on the subject before. In fact some of the questions raised in last Wednesday’s discussion are answered in her new article. We say ‘Fine!’ to see these documents in the FI.
“In addition, we think Laura Gray’s cartoon of McCarthy on the cover of the Summer issue is priceless! The McCarthy sneer and the shrugged shoulder are characteristic and wonderfully drawn – and the color scheme of the whole is very attractive.”

Oakland Literature Agent Dolores Seville writes:
“We expect to increase our FI bundle order substantially. The last issue sold so well at a newsstand on the Berkeley campus that we plan on doubling the amount when the fall term starts.”

Seattle Literature Agent Helen Baker reports: “The last issue of the FI is attracting a lot of interest here.”

Jean Simon writes from Cleveland: “Please send us extra copies of the Summer issue. We have sold our whole bundle.”
Literature Agent Carol Houston reports an excellent response to the FI on the Chicago campus. She comments: “Incidentally, the Summer issue is really wonderful, both in appearance and content. Everyone here is very impressed.”

Comrade Al Winters reports good sales on the campus in Detroit.
“We placed a bundle of the Winter FI in a bookstore near Wayne University. They sold them out in about two weeks – So the students seem to go for it. We put a bundle of the Spring issue there also.”

San Francisco Literature Agent Gordon Bailey writes: “We have put Fourth International on another newsstand and are planning to get it placed on more. The new format makes it far more saleable.”

An agent for the magazine in England writes: “The new format is much appreciated here.”

Rev. H.W. of Boston, Mass., writes, “Your material helps me keep abreast of socialist trends and has helped me very much in presenting liberal ideas.”
