From the Socialist Labour League, India

To comrades Bill and Jean Brust, 

Dear Comrades,

We, the Indian Trotskyists working in Calcutta, were seriously worried to learn about the illness of Comrade Bill Brust through the Bulletin of May 19, 1991, and we earnestly hope that our beloved comrade will come around very soon to carry on his glorious revolutionary activities of giving leadership to the Fourth International.

We are deeply inspired by your invaluable contribution to the world Trotskyist movement, of you both, Comrades Bill and Jean. We read the Bulletin report on the tribute paid at the YS conference to your lifelong contribution, just as we taking the first steps of forming a branch of the SLL here, and it reminded us how much your contribution lives within the successes and the growth of the ICFI. We shall, as members of the Socialist Labour League of India, carry forward this work under the banner of the ICFI, along with all other comrades of the Workers League and all comrades throughout the world.

 

Wishing you a quick recovery, Comrade Bill, and extending our solidarity in the moment of your anxiety and strain, Comrade Jean.

With revolutionary greetings.


Yours fraternally,
DJM, KGD, AW
