The institutional examples were also checked in Gramsci's letter to Tatiana Schucht of September 7, 1931, in Letters from Prison, selected, translated and introduced by Lynne Lawner (Quartet Books, 1979; translation copyright 1973), letter 57, printed pp. 203–205, especially 204; PDF pp. 110–111. This selected letter begins with an editorial omission. The whole printed selection and its notes were read; the unabridged letter has not been collated. The examples come from the letter, rather than the war-of-position passage itself.
