Handwritten letter to Mary Lou Clancey from relatives
August 20, 1977
Dear Mary Lou-
How are you? I hope you found everything o.k. when you arrived. Our chief concern is your safety, so I can assure you that we are watching every minute and your Uncle Joe has his attorney also in the act. [San Francisco Mayor] George Moscone, [San Francisco D.A. Joseph] Freitas and many people here are also very interested. You see I was absolutely floored when I read the papers. That is not my concern – your safety is!
It would be to Jimmy Jones advantage to send Mary Lou Clancey home.
Take care –
Love from Auntie Fran & Joe [illegible name]

Mary Lou Clancey’s letter to mayor in response to family’s letter
September 14, 1977
San Francisco
Mayor George Moscone
Dear Sir,
My name is Marylou Clancey and I am currently living at Peoples Temple Agricultural Mission in Guyana, S.A. I received recently a letter from my aunt, Mrs. Joseph P. [illegible name] in which your name was mentioned and it may be of interest to you (copy enclosed.)
I wish to state that I am 23 yrs old, I have been married for the past 4 yrs., and I would greatly appreciate it if my aunt would stop attempting to interfere with my personal life. This letter is an example of the same type of harassment that has been aimed toward Jim Jones and Peoples Temple in recent months.
I lived previously in Ukiah, California and worked there at the Ukiah Health Dept. as a Community Health Aide for 3 yrs. I have found great fulfillment here at the Agricultural Mission and I have no intentions of leaving in the near future. Thank you for your time and attention.
Sincerely,
Marylou Clancey
