Utley states that she does not have "the final text of the appeal to the Soviet government which we jointly composed and which you induced the Webbs, et al., to sign or support." She still does not know her husband's fate and encloses a draft letter for BR to send to Cyrus Eaton as the basis of a letter to Khrushchev.

Utley also encloses her new introduction to Lost Illusion.
