Description:
Includes: Foster, William Z. “Points that should be included in the Manifesto.” Carbon copy of typed manuscript draft, undated [but August 14, 1942]. 3 pp. Foster’s initials at bottom of the last page.

Carbon copy of typed manuscript draft of Foster’s attack on Browder and his revisionist mistakes. 19 pp. Marked in pencil for distribution to Bob Minor and Jim Ford. * Minor, Robert. Suggestions on Foster’s Draft Report by Minor. Retained copy of Robert Minor’s suggestions for revisions which he believes will add strength to Foster’s report. Undated, but July 1945. 4 pp. Minor assures Foster that he heartily approves “of the firm and decisive line of the report as a whole. I think it would be the biggest mistake to soften it down in any degree whatever.” Together 3 items.
