Dear Jim,

Peng wrote this letter about the Paris meeting: "I am glad to tell you that in the discussion about reunification of the world Trotskyist movement at the IC meeting last month, Comrade Healy reported the opinion of this question in the Toronto meeting and expressed his support of it against the old opinion of the French comrades. This proves that there has been a great change in his standpoint and also a decisive influence has come from your talk with him."

/s/ Farrell
