	If you think that your letters will help the American-loving Russian
people to "get their government under control," by all means write them.  I
would suggest, though, that you get a lot of patience, ink, paper, etc.
Maybe about 400 years' worth.

	May I make a practical suggestion?  Send those letters to those
people who *don't* "just love Americans," because you are putting them in
(indirect) danger.  I know people there who are afraid to get letters from
their relatives.  I also know some who will be on valium for a week after
receiving a letter from a piece movement (foreign *or* domestic).

P.S.  By the way, those people that you talked to in '68, did they speek
      English pretty well (or did you talk to them in Russian)?  If they
      did, there's at least a 75% chance that they were plants.
