I SAT IN SNAPPY’S READING THE NEW York Times, sipping my morning coffee, and waiting for Loretta to meet me for our usual nine o’clock breakfast. Two days earlier I had been sitting in this same booth during lunch while Agent Mann had eaten at the booth behind me. “How are things at the Crisis?” I’d asked, our backs to each other. “Normal business,” he’d replied. “However, Du Bois seems to correspond quite a bit with some of New York’s more influential Jews. I’m trying to see if a Jerry Silverman is funding him. Silverman may be a member of the Communist Party.” “Good,” I’d said, laughing on the inside. “I may have something for you next month. I think I may get a job with Garvey’s Black Star Line. Perhaps I can find out who’s funding him. Maybe the two have common donors.” “Yes. Communist Party donors.” “By the way, what’s your code?” “6W6,” he’d said. “Yours?” “Q3Z.” Mann had left shortly thereafter and I’d informed Du Bois in an anonymous letter about the Bureau’s tracking of Silverman.
