These letters are written at the end of and after the Spanish Civil War and they focus on activism surrounding refugees in Mexico and France and how the refugees might be evacuated from France to Mexico.

This letter, written in 1940, highlights the importance of fundraising for activism and finding resources to support relocation of the Spanish refugees. It also shows the amount of organizational cooperation that went into assisting Spanish exiles, and the difficulty of finding suitable situations for the thousands from Spain living in refugee camps in France.
