’ This Jotter Ww rece rived by me recently, from a Sfree" country ‘in 1 Europe, ive ki To protect the writor w ()t sign his name, but who i ye ently a physictan-sctontisg, I will not give the name of 9) country or the date. It was wi.ton in English and is ; quoted verbatim below. THE PARENTHESES ARE MINE AND THE QUESTION MARKS INL PARED am not } clear about the meaning, . Dear Most Gracious Lady: In my travels it is that I have soen your noble book STAR OVER ANTIOCH, (this is. ™ novel, “Dear and Glorious Physician" retitled by my French publisher, “Star over Antioch.) en It was in the lounge. You must forgive my English, I read {t much greater, and special in tl é. scientific pamphlets from America. My age! shall not give. This, Madame, you will ‘knov e for a protaction, for they are the satans and alwayw find what ts good to ruin (destroy?) it. My pcoronts wore of the Faith but not the Orthodox, but it was in my childhood, and I was in the nursery (Stato?) and so it was the Faith was a glimmering. It remained - as "Star over Antioch," my poor mother who was killed with my brother, Gave mo her endin: blessing, My father it was who died of typhus, and this the Americans do not know, that® thore {s mich typhus in Russia in the regions of the Moslems and the yellow skins who hate tho ovil ones and so it is that the typhus {s lot to reign among the poor people. Thoy not - being permitted to go to West-Russia where it ds the whites who live and reton. It is from these that the Mborty (free) world should take their great hope, but not from West-Russia.” .Sometimes it is thet the typhus is froe in Wast-Russia, though it is not reminded of in the. newspapers, and so it was that my dear father died. a Log ea ; It is the Orthodix which f{gpermitted in my poor country, inthe most, but . im tho chaneil (confessional?) {s wired so that the unfortunate must confess thoir crrors age the chtans, and the priests insist, Then many of the unfortunate disappear. Builam not.. of the Orthodox, and our priests do not ask the crror against the satans, for reasons very . cigar. Holy Mother Church is much persecuted you must know. It is Khrushchev who does - toll the gullible in the countries eager to hear him say the truth that religion is not : confined, but this is the horrendous lie; {it is the Orthodox which is at liberty to holp tha '- regime, only. There are too the Baptist priests (ministers?) which are in Russia, most fron America and England, learning the language before (coming?) and exhort the people that, - is God's desire that men obey the State as it is authority, and the State is Hig anos tle on. the earth. Does your great country know of these things, and your State? Is it that we are betrayed by those who have the iberty? So it is that Khrushchoy_sayvs, and I hove hear him say. . SEARCHEO.
