Dear Comrades,

Thank you for the splendid review of Twenty Year Millennium Wildcat. I just want to comment on the adverse criticism, about "gratuitous cartoons about the stout anarchist rat". I reckon anarchists who denounce other anarchists in print deserve to be criticised, and the fat rat cartoon in Twenty Year Millennium Wildcat appeared in Freedom in response to pamphlets against the organisers of the annual Anarchist Bookfair. (The rat character is more-or-less copied from a drawing by Ronald Scarfe, and does not represent a particular individual).

Best wishes,

DR
