Konikou 330 Shawn av Dear Miss Blackwell, The Socialist organisation of America, Poles, Letts, Lithuanians, Jews and Italians are going to have a mass meeting at Faneuil Hall on 22 of January 8 p.m. A parade will preceed the meeting, starting from Castle Square, going though Tremont St. The committee decided to invite a [one] representative of the Friends of Russian Freedom to be presentWe could not get hold of the Armenians, though we sent an invitation to participate in our parade and meeting to the Soc. Armenian paper. Could you by chance supply me with an address of a Russian Revolut. Armenian? Forgive me for heaping work upon you, but I know that you feel for us or, rather, like any one of us, and would like to help us to have a successful meeting and parade. I hope the red flag will not frighten you upon the platform and, if possible, to speak for a few minutes. I suppose I have not to remind you what the 22nd of January means for us Russians. It is Bloody Tuesday" which is now considered [as] the beginning of the present Revolution going on in Russia. Would you kindly notify me, whether you find the Friends of Russ. Freedom will be represented? Also [whom] whether the representatives will speak? I hope it will be you or your father!The papers started the fuss, as long as they started it, we could not deny the flag that our brothers in Russia are fighting for. Personally we do not care for flags! We will have about 5 different nationalities represented at the meeting. Yours sincerely Dr. Antoinette F. Konikou
