European Stars and Stripes (Newspaper) - June 18, 1980, Darmstadt, Hesse Page 18 the Tarsan stripes wednesday june 18, 1980 Dewonn dear Harvey one of the worst things about be ing n hostage Here in Iran is that write letters like this All the Lime Andi never know if icy get delivered. I certainly Hope this one gels through because i warn you to know How Happy your letter made me. When you told me the news that president Carter feels things arc so eased up that he can go out and Campaign to keep his Job. I came out of my chair. Well not quilt. The chair came right up in the air Wilh me. The chair did i his because i was tied to it. I guess this Means Hal Well be getting Home any moment now right just saying this makes me so Happy that i Don l know what to do. Way Back when we first got lied up we heard that Carter said he was t going to leave the White House not put a fool outside the door until the crisis was Over. That was All right. I mean the Man got us kidnapped and the least he could do was recognize that we were in a lot of trouble because of him. Now you Tell me in your letter thai Carter is going to get out of the White House and travel around the country to keep his Job. Harvey that Means by Carter s own words that i m As Good As free at this very moment. I la Tell you it s none Loo soon for me. One of these guards Here brought his sister around one night the sister looks just like Kissinger and he said he could make a Deal Wilh me if i d marry the sister. He said i ought to marry her because i was going to be Here forever. I la Tell of some More about this later. Right now you have no idea How my heart pol ,1 lift Oul of your letter. To Tell you the Rulh. My heart in t the real problem. It beats along the same As it always did i guess. But it s my Ankles. I have some Case of rope Burn on these Ankles. Will it be Good to come Home and walk around without any ropes on my an Kles. So it was a real thrill to learn from your idler Hal we re going to be Home soon. No body around Here told us that. If we did t have your letter and the news about Carter saying How our troubles have been alleviated we would l have known anything about our Good Fortune. That guard with the sister who looks like Kissinger sure does t seem to know that the crisis is Over. He brought her around again last night. He said to me you re never going to gel out of Here. Why Don t you marry my Sis Ter she works in a shop. The two of you could work together in the same what do you think the sister says to me she says to me of that would be Wery get that get inc cry she not Only looks like Kissinger but she talks like him. Somebody taught this Wom an to speak English with a German accent. I Lell you Harvey old Friend i Don t know if it s a horror joke or if i m going insane. But i have Henry Kissinger trying to attack me Here every night. Whatever happened to that Kissinger any Way i imagine that wherever the Shah of Iran is. You la find Kissinger. Of sure we All know inc reason we be been kidnapped. It started be cause the Shah has Kissinger in his pocket. Yes. Pon t you Sneep a at Curt w Mike Sinclair from what we hear this Shah is a Gutsy fellow. Every time it gets inc least bit close to hit coming Back Here where he belongs he ducks into the Hospital and says he is having an operation. I think of the Shah a lot while i m Here. The one Book i be read maybe a Hundred times while i m sitting Here is the talc of two cities by Dickens. Every Lime i come to the part of the Book where Sidney Carton gives himself up to save somebody else i think of the Shah. I got rope Burns because of him. And the Man never comes around Here like he s sup posed to. He started All my trouble. It s his Job to come Here and end it. Harvey Why do 1 have to pay for what the Shah of Iran did to these people Don t get me wrong. I m not in love with them. My Mother taught me never to like kidnappers. But if their beef is with the Shah then it s up to him to come Here and straighten it Oul and let me go Home. I la even give him the words he s supposed to say. He would be a great hero and he would have great words. He could use the lines that Sidney Carton said in the Dickens Book. I know them by heart now it is a far far better thing that i do than i Ever have done it is far. Far belter rest that i go to than i have Ever and we All would have been Home a Long Lime ago. But now Harvey you say in your letter that it does t matter anymore. Carter says the Cri Sis has lifted he could go out and Campaign for his Job and that Mains Well All be coming Home soon. Boy you sure sent me Good news. Just in Lime too. When that guard brought the sister Hal looks like Kissinger around she said to me Al one Point make the door would you believe it she even Speaks in German construction. So i said to her Why she said i meant to Confer with you Aboul something cry you know what i told her i said to her make the door i m telling you Harvey if i Ever wound up being Here forever like these guards keep Tell ing me maybe someday i d be walking around Iran married to Henry Kissinger.
