Critical of cases

MR. WM KUNSTLER
ATTORNEY AT LAW
BELAIR, MD.
DEAR SIR:-
THE WRITER, TOGETHER WITH A GROUP OF LAW ABIDING CITIZENS WERE DISCUSSING YOUR RECENT ACTIONS AND UTTERANCES, IN CONNECTION WITH THE SO CALLED "CHICAGO 7" AND THE "RAP" BROWN CASE. OUR OPINION WAS THAT YOU ARE PROBABLY THE MOST SEDITIOUS INDIVIDUAL SINCE BENEDICT ARNOLD AND ARE WHOLLY UNDESERVING OF BEING AN AMERICAN CITIZEN.
YOUR GOOD MOTHER WOULD PROBABLY SPIT IN YOUR FACE IF SHE COULD OBSERVE YOURSHAMEFUL CONDUCT AND DECRY THE DAY SHE BROUGHT YOU INTO THIS WORLD.
IT IS INDEED A TRAVESTY OF JUSTICE THAT YOUR KIND SHOULD BE PERMITTED TO ENJOY THE FREEDOM OF THE AMERICAN WAY OF LIFE.
A LOYAL AMERICAN
Typed on the envelope:
The type of Jew that has caused millions of loyal Americans to wonder if, maybe, Adoph Hitler was right, after all.
If Kunstler does not like this Country--why does he stay here instead of going to another Country where he would be better at home.
This would be a far better Country if he did go somewhere else.

Attorney Kunstler:
There was an article in our local newspaper, the "Lorain Journal" concerning your activities. I have been reading of your disgraceful actions at the Chicago Trial and I feel you are a disgrace to your profession.
You and the other scum you defend are traitors to our country, and should be treated as such. Yes, I mean placed before a firing squad and shot. I am sure there are millions feel as I do.
Will not sign my name as I am sure you would have one of your anarchist pals bomb my home and family.
