Litvinoff returns Roback's letter and its enclosures. He tells Schoenman that Roback's reference to hundreds of Yiddish writers being executed confuses the fact that 26 were killed on August 12, 1952 and an unknown number of others died in prison camps. Litvinoff criticizes Decter's article as well as Arnoni's and tells Schoenman that he has asked Decter for comments.
