Thank You Dan. So,in summary: it is a letter in SING OUT Volume 33, Number 3,page 128, 1987.Is the letter signed Barney Baley? There isn't a Barney Bailey in the Abraham Lincoln Battalion Association (ALBA) on-line biographies but Bill Bailey was a high profile ALBA veteran who lived in California at the end of his life.

BILL BAILEY'S ALBA BIOGRAPHY

The beginning of the letter looks scrambled: CO W)2(W ( MM) (>H1^ Cotati, CA is that what is actually printed?

The last bit of the letter which I was able to trick out of the Google Book snippet was I was intrigued by Pete's mention of ... . Is there any chance you could type the end of the letter. Also was the original contributor of the song Pete Seeger by any chance?

Many Thanks - Geoff
