Rose Welch to John Ryan, November 24, 1936
<p>Many of Coughlin's followers believed that Father Ryan was a communist because of his support for Roosevelt and the New Deal. This letter illustrates that belief, as the Minnesota woman writing it asked Father Ryan to send her a book called "Toward Soviet America," implying the Ryan owned the work by Chairman of the Communist Party, USA.</p>
<p>Questions:</p>
<p>As you read the document, reflect on the following questions:</p>
<ul><li>Why might Welch have assumed that Ryan was a communist?</li>
<li>How does the tone of Welch's letter compare to that of Coughlin's attitude toward Ryan in his <a href="http://cuomeka.wrlc.org/exhibits/show/politics/documents/1936-reply-ryan">Reply to Rt. Reverend Monsignor John Ryan</a>?</li>
