Side One<\/strong><\/p>\n

Several seconds of low conversation by young woman, followed by tape edit.<\/p>\n

\u201cLisa Layton\u201d:<\/strong> Nobody, nothing care could I be\u2013 could be found anywhere. Jim Jones, who has shown tremendous care and concern for me, has offered to send me a government emergency plane to pick me up here and take me to Georgetown and to the hospital. He has also offered to send me to another country, such as Cuba or the Soviet Union\u2013 Union to seek further medical care. However (low chuckle) I do not wish (pause, which includes rustling of paper) to go anywhere. I want to stay right here in Jonestown. In fact, when I die, I wish to die right here with the people I love in Jonestown, and no place elsewhere.<\/p>\n

Tape edit<\/p>\n

Young woman: <\/strong>(unintelligible word) Uh\u2013 Try to get to them privately because we wanted to know who was who. Uh\u2013 We want to (unintelligible word) but it was too late. It was too late.<\/p>\n

Side Two<\/strong><\/p>\n

\u201cLisa Layton\u201d:<\/strong> \u2013vomiting, I\u2019m not keeping any food down, I have a fever, and I\u2019m being taken of in a beautiful Southern way. Jim Jones has suggested that if I don\u2019t recover to his uh, satisfaction, he would like me to go to Georgetown and possibly to Cuba to have a specialist look at me. However, I feel this is premature, because as long as I have a fever, I feel it\u2019s a virus. I felt\u2013 I\u2019m feeling sick to my stomach, and I\u2019ve been getting shots to do away with the nausea, and aspirin suppositories bring down my temperature. Anything should ever go wrong, I\u2019d like to stay right here and die in Jonestown. I really do not want to kick the bucket anywhere else. I like this place, and I belong here. Thank you. (edit) (Pause)<\/p>\n

This is July 4, 1978, I have been given the opportunity to go to Georgetown for medical treatment, and I have asked not to go, because I\u2019ve been feeling too sick to bother being put on a plane. And I feel that I\u2019m getting good care here and I feel it\u2019s imma\u2013 uh, it\u2019s uh\u2013 immature [premature]. I mean, it\u2019s\u2013 what do you call it, it\u2013 it\u2019s too\u2013 going in too early because you don\u2019t know what\u2019s wrong at this time. It does look like a virus infection to me.
