  To Ruth Hughes

  Here are some things that I should like you to do, as soon as you are feeling well enough.

  First, would you give me the letter from Nesmianov. I ought to answer it.

  Second, would you look at the original signed copy of the appeal from Thailand. In the news release there was a signature by Harry Emeleus - Professor Emeleus, University of Cambridge. I remember that when the original material arrived I was skeptical about this signature, and I want to check it. Emeleus wrote another letter, which you should also get, saying that he did not want to sign. I think that we shall have to tell the United Nations to cross that name off, in case that the handwriting indicates that it is not genuine. In any case, we might have to write to Emeleus, to ask if he did happen to be in Thailand.

  Then we must get together, during the next few weeks, an auxiliary list of signers to be sent to the Secretary-General. I have quite a number of additional signatures on my desk, and I think that you have some also. Let us be sure that we get everybody in.
