made a m:mber of the People's Revolutionary Army, with the rank of
general and field marshal. For the next three years we were in constant
communication by means of messages carried by friends and lawyers
and inmates transferred from one prison to another. Despite the restrictions
of the prison system, we managed to transmit our messages on
paper and on tapes. Among George's contributions to the Party were
articles he wrote for The Black Panther newspaper, which furthered our
revolutionary theory and provided inspiration for all the brothers. In
February, 1971, I received this letter from him:

Comrade Hucy,
Things are quiet here now, tonight we have discipline and accord,
tomorrow all may fly apart again-but that's us.
I have two articles that I would like to be put in the paper, one
following the other by a week. The one on Angela first. Then if you
approve, I would like to contribute something to the paper every week

If yes, let me know if there is any area in particular you would like
me to cover (comment on).

One favor-please don't let anyone delete the things I say or
change them around, I don't need an editor, unless what I say is not
representative of the Party Line, don't let anyone change a word.

position. And don't let them shorten or condense; if something is too
long, part one-part two it.
If you want to use me to say nasty things about those who deserve
it, it may be best for me to comment as an observer, that way less
contradictions between yourself and people you may have to work
with.
You told that you and I had a "misunderstanding" once
but that it was cleared up. When was it that we misunderstood each
other?
Be very careful of messages or any word that has supposed to have
come from me. I really don't recall any misunderstanding.
People lie for many reasons.
Try to memorize my handwriting, that is how all messages will
come in the future (if we have a future).
Did you know that Angela and I were married a while back? And
