Joe Hill farewell letter to Elizabeth Gurley Flynn
Utah State Prison Sept 30 - 15
Elizabeth Gurley Flynn 511.E.134th st.
New York City NY.
Dear Friend & F.W.
Well Gurley I guess I am off for the great unknown to-morrow morning. I have said that I'd have a trial or die trying. They can kill me, I know, but they can never make me "eat my own crow." I consider my self lucky any way because I have managed to get some of the facts out, but not all of them by any means. Well I had the pleasure to fight under The Red Flag once, any way, so I guess I've had my share of the fun. I would like to kiss you good-bye Gurley, not because you are a girl but because you are the original Rebel Girl. Good Bye. Yours for the OBU Joe Hill.
