Scope and Contents
The poem, on folded white paper shaped like an arrow, contains the message printed in red, "Beat the Reds with the White Wedge: Correspond!" This slogan has been modified from El Lissitzky's revolutionary poster, "Beat the Whites with the Red Wedge." It refers to an appeal to write in his support regarding his contemporaneous tax dispute. It does not appear to be referenced in the Finlay bibliographies. -- Source of annotation: Marvin or Ruth Sackner.
