Thank you very much indeed, Romy. I would never have worked that out!
Best wishes,
Simon

Simon,
"Van Mais" is "Vaughn Mise," the CP pseudonym of Maude May White (later,
Katz), an African American woman from Pennsylvania who studied in Moscow
from 1927-1930.
Maxim Matusevich recently published excerpts from a US consulate de-briefing
on her, when she needed to renew her passport in 1929; she eventually
returned to the NY area and was active in the CP for years.
Yours, Romy Taylor

Dear all,
The preface of the 1929 Russian translation of Claude McKay's Home to Harlem
is signed "Van Mais i V. Vil'son". Does anyone out there have any idea who
they were?
Many thanks,
Simon
