ALS signed “J. W. Stilwell,” two pages, 8 x 10.5, August 22. To his dear comrade, Trotsky. In part: “Attaboy. I knew we’d get a good blast out of you. Many thanks to your thoughts and trouble; it’s appreciated. 1. My point is to get in there—anywhere at the start. I don’t agree with you on this point, but if you are the co. comdr. & want to group the guns, you certainly can. 2. Look out, now. In one breath you say ‘effective employment demands so-and-so,’ and ‘the tactical use is essentially that of shoulder weapons.’ Why train for one purpose & use them for another?…5. My feeble hope is to get the gun adopted. How it is used, just so it helps the rifleman forward, I don’t care…Well, have a good laugh, anyway. I’m very much obliged to you, & quite tickled to find that we agree on a lot more of things, if not all.” Faint scattered creasing, toning and two punch holes towards the top edge, and a staple still intact on the top left corner above two small spots of foxing, otherwise fine condition.
