Is the wife of one of those missing men whose name was not on the Communist's
list and is gravely concerned whether we are going to exchange listing for
listing when the final exchange comes. Feels they surely have more than they
claim and if we accept this fact we might never see our loved ones again. Also
thinks it a mistake for news commentators to keep repeating we can only expect
a certain percent because the enemy will know that this amount will satisfy us.
We should let them know we feel this list is incomplete and that we should have
a few thousand more names added. If they cannot produce the living men, is there
any way they can give a history of those that died in camps.
