Leon Trotsky: Letter to James P. Cannon

November 3, 1934

[Writing of Leon Trotsky, Vol. 14, New York 1979, p. 536, title: “Cannon’s Mission in Europe”]

Dear Comrade Cannon:

I regret that I cannot write you in English. I await with the greatest impatience your report on the important mission the IS gave you. I strongly hope that you have succeeded in settling the matter. The results would justify your trip to Europe two or three times over.

I will expect a letter from you in New York about the fusion with the AWP and other questions on the agenda.

I hope that you will take with you the manuscript of the Vérité pamphlet, with which I am in full agreement. Its publication in America could be useful in my opinion.

Fraternally yours,
