BR writes on behalf of Freda Utley, an ex-Communist whose Russian husband was purged by Stalin. He asks Eaton if he can approach the Soviet authorities on her behalf to find out if her husband is dead or alive, as she does not know. "Freda Utley's husband, Arcadi Jacovlevitch Berdichevsky, was arrested April, 1936, when he was Finance Manager of Promexport, the largest export organization of the Soviet Union under the Commissariat of Foreign Trade headed by Mikoyan who probably still remembers Berdichevsky."
