              <text>This is a letter he wrote on his computer while the power was out. He printed it on an old sheet of paper. The paper is a baggage advisory for Peace Corps trainees, volunteers, and staff from March 22, 1994. At the end of the letter, he wrote, “Ignore what’s on the other side of this letter. I am reusing useless Peace Corps paper and stuff.”&#13;
&#13;
In the letter, he tells his family he is now a Peace Corps volunteer, no longer a trainee. He is in Ushtobe. He says the electricity and water has been going off, but says it's on most of the time and that he’s living well. He writes about meeting the director of his school, people in the town, and some police. He writes, “Some of the police here still think this is the Soviet Union and that they must keep a close tap on me.” He says he is trying to get a phone and then he might be able to get an email.&#13;
&#13;
Two pictures are included in this letter: 1) him jumping into the river Ili, and 2) him at the train station&#13;
