Mr. Charles R. Garry
\nAttorney at Law
\n1256 Market Stree
\nSan Francisco, Ca. 94-102<\/p>\n
Dear Mr. Garry:<\/p>\n
The Law Firm of Holmes and Warden has been retained by Howard F. Oliver and Beverly Oliver the parents of Bruce Howard Oliver and William Sheldon Oliver to make a formal demand for the return of their children William Sheldon Oliver and Bruce Howard Oliver.<\/p>\n
Enclosed is a Revocation of Power of Attorney granted to your clients, The Peoples Temple and Reverend Jim Jones.<\/p>\n
Because of the distance involved in transporting the children back to the United States, we are giving you clients until October 22, 1977 to have the children back in this country.<\/p>\n
It is my understanding through my conversations with Guyana\u2019s Ambassador that the Reverend Jim Jones has assured their government that any parent is free to have their children returned to them upon request. If this is the policy of the Peoples Temple and Reverend Jim Jones, this matter can be resolved post haste precluding the necessity of litigation.<\/p>\n
Sincerely,
\n\/s\/ Roger C. Holmes
