[Excerpt]
First of all, I must thank all of you for the outpouring of support I received from my last letter. You were all so kind, and so gracious, it hurt that I could not reply to you all individually. Unfortunately, due to the nature of the violence, Peace Corps put all of its volunteers on radio silence. I can tell you all that I am safe and sound, and so are the other volunteers; furthermore, as for now, the future of Peace Corps Kyrgyzstan looks bright. I wish I could say more.
