Sylvia is glad to hear Moe took a boat ride in Seattle on his day off. Sends him a few articles from PM, says it looks as if the "Big Fellows" are intent on taking over the world and recognize the need for internationalism. Hopes this will be worth more than International Fascism. Tells him he has always influenced her thinking.

PM was a leftist daily newspaper published in New York City from June 1940 to June 1948; financed by Chicago millionaire Marshall Field III.
