Hilda should pretend she didn't get this letter, since he did not tell Foster he would be writing. George Harris asking about Hilda: "George then said with some innuendo that it's too bad I hadn't known that you were inclined to be a Marxist and were known as such. To which the answer, of course, was 'So what -- I've been red-baited myself!' But I thought you'd like to know about it. Don't worry if you're tagged -- it's just something we've all gotten to learn to take as a minor annoyance, like a mosquito bite. And when you slap the mosquito he doesn't bother you any more!"
