March 3 Sunday – Sam’s notebook: “Taught dog the Morse alphabet” [NB 44 TS 6].

N.E. Guyot wrote from Cripple Creek, Colo. agreeing with his “Sitting in Darkness” article.

I served as a private soldier in the Colorado Regiment and was on the Island of Luzon from July 18, 1898 until July 16, 1899. We thought we went there to liberate the Filipinos even as other American soldiers went to Cuba to help free the Cubans. But the Americans who crossed the Pacific “to liberate” remained there to enslave….I congratulate you on your overwhelming truthful exposition of the great crime [MTP]. Note: Sam wrote on the env. “from a solider / first rate”
