BRACERS Record Detail for 117523
To access the original letter, email the Russell Archives.
Anne writes regarding a gathering of men, women and children from Czechoslovakia, Poland, Hungary, Yugoslavia, the Soviet Union, Bulgaria, Romania and Germany, at Acadia Farms to show the desire for normal relations with socialist countries.
"We believe that this is an opportune time to draw attention to U.S. misinformation about public opinion in the socialist countries, because of the recent revelation of the similar error of our CIA and State Department concerning the actual feeling of the majority of the Cuban people."
As there will be many prominent women from these countries attending, Anne asks Edith if she could send them a message on that day.
There is a note beneath the letter, in Anne's hand: "My greetings to Lord Russell. Perhaps women can accomplish something productive here! Hope so."
At the top of the letter, in Edith's hand, there is a note: "Cable to be sent on 24 June: copy attached" (record 117524).
