Reed, John (1887-1920) Journalist and revolutionary; author of Ten Days That Shook the World, an account of events surrounding the Bolshevik Revolution in 1917. Autograph Letter Signed, Croton-on-Hudson (New York), July 31 (c. 1919), 4 pp, 6¾ x 4½ in. To Theodore Schroeder, in Cos Cob, Connecticut, asking for his help in raising bail for a Socialist who has been indicted for sedition and is in prison at Hartford. The man, Cornelius Lehane, "is abandoned by all the 'regular' 'organization' Socialists, who hate him….I will back him up as loyal, brave and good….they have raised only half of his outrageous bail ($7,500 - or $15,000 in all). It is a typical government sedition case. Could you yourself get the rest of the bail….we need him out…." Accompanied by a photo reprint of Reed. Warren Beatty played Reed, and Diane Keaton played his wife, Louise Bryant, in the 1981 movie Reds.
Estimated Value $800 - 1,000.
