Lot 2007
[ Autographs ] (EMMA GOLDMAN) T.L. (unsigned but datelined in her hand), 2pp. 4to., Paris, [?] 20, 1930 to Ella A. Pomilia providing her hints as to her inclusion in her memoirs and writes in part: "... You will be interested to know that I am now in 1918, describing Jefferson Penitentiary. I have not yet reached the time when you and Kate O'Hare came there. That comes in 1919. Naturally I will describe our lie there and our beautiful friendship which helped do much to brighten the gloom of the prison and the hard labor of the shop. I will speak of you as Ella merely, and not mention your other name. Thought it is not likely that my description may have any ill consequences for you, I nevertheless do not wish to take a chance. It is different with Kate O'Hare. Nothing I would say about her would injure her, being an American citizen and having her background. By the way, is your husband naturalized?...I will say absolutely nothing that will in the least make the watchful department at Washington apprehensive. After all it is known that you have been in prison and Iam writing only about our life there..." A few brown spots, usual folds, otherwise very good condition.
