One of the reasons I\u2019m concerned, we have difficulty getting mail to uh, her, and <em>apparently<\/em> she has difficulty getting mail to us (unintelligible) delayed.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Bradshaw:<\/strong> Yeah, there is, because they\u2019re in the interior of the country, and especially this time of year, there was\u2013 was about three weeks in a row there that uh, the ship could not leave the Port Kaituma to take the mail into Georgetown to even have it sent back to the U.S. We have found there is a problem with the mails also, because people will get letters that say uh, uh, remember I told you in my last letter, and then the person never got their last <em>letter<\/em>.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Willie:<\/strong> Yeah, that\u2019s the kind of thing that we have experienced.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Bradshaw:<\/strong> Right. Right. Exactly. And uh, we think that it\u2019s all\u2013 We think someone is tampering with our mails, is what we think. Uh, one <em>big<\/em> package of mail that came back that was mailed all at once from the people there uh, had been opened, wine or a substance that smelled of wine and was the <em>color<\/em> of wine was poured on the contents of the letters. So we really think that it\u2019s a type of harassment because uh, way\u2013 this is the\u2013 not the first case or the <em>only<\/em> case in which we\u2019ve had problems with people getting their mails.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Willie:<\/strong> Uh-huh.

Oh, I can understand you missing her.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Willie:<\/strong> \u2013not to\u2019ve been able to exchange uh, you know, Christmas uh, wishes and uh, even uh, you know, small gifts, et cetera.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Bradshaw:<\/strong> Mm-hmm.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Willie:<\/strong> And uh, it\u2013 there\u2019s just a <em>void<\/em> there that I think uh, I would like to have filled. At <em>least<\/em> I would like her to know that uh, if she wants to uh, come back for a short visit, you know, I\u2013 I can arrange (unintelligible word), my brother and I can arrange that uh, she do so. But not having, you know, the <em>ability<\/em> to talk to her, it\u2013 it\u2019s difficult. By the time I ask the question, you know, two or three months later she would get the uh, <em>letter<\/em> and not too much can be accomplished that way.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Bradshaw:<\/strong> Well, some\u2013 it depends on that\u2013 what the mail is doing. Sometimes we\u2019ve gotten letters back within several weeks, but, as I say, we\u2019ve had that same problem with the mails ourselves, and uh, there <em>is<\/em> radio communication from uh, the San Francisco office to uh, Jonestown. Uh\u2013 The possibility of uh, a phone patch is there. It\u2019s <em>difficult<\/em>, because a lot of times the band is not on for very long, especially during the winter months. The uh, actual contact time is much less than it is, say, in the summer, when you can talk longer on the air. Uh, in fact, Claire had a\u2013 a phone contact with uh, her mom <em>and<\/em> her children, I think about two weeks ago.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Willie:<\/strong> Uh, she mentioned it to me.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Bradshaw:<\/strong> Yeah, and uh, she talked to her at that time. Uh, that was pretty clear communication, as I recall at that time. Anyway, uh, we could take your number down and\u2013 I just can\u2019t guarantee when it will be, because we have no control over the band. (Pause)<\/p>\n<p><strong>Willie:<\/strong> Uh, okay, let me give you my number. However\u2013 Well, maybe at that time I could see if she would like to come back for a visit, but somehow, I would like that message conveyed to her.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Bradshaw:<\/strong> Um-hmm. You\u2019re certainly free to <em>ask<\/em> her, you know, anything you\u2019d want, and it <em>is<\/em> hard to understand uh, uh, the\u2013 you know, someone going that distance and finding a place that they want to stay for a goodly length of time. I can understand your missing her.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Willie:<\/strong> Um-hmm. (Pause)<\/p>\n<p><strong>Bradshaw:<\/strong> What is your number down there?<\/p>\n<p><strong>Willie:<\/strong> Okay, area code 213, and it\u2019s 899-5844.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Bradshaw:<\/strong> Um-hmm. 5844. And what was your first name again?<\/p>\n<p><strong>Willie:<\/strong> Uh, Willie.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Bradshaw:<\/strong> Willie. (Pause) Okay. Uh, I can leave it on the radio with\u2013 for the radio operator. When is the\u2013 You probably work in the daytime, huh?<\/p>\n<p><strong>Willie:<\/strong> Yes, I\u2019m seldom home. Well, the <em>safest<\/em> time is, say, between uh, 5 and uh\u2013 I\u2019m tempted to say between 5 and 6, because quite a few evenings, I\u2019m away.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Bradshaw:<\/strong> Umm-hmm. Okay, uh\u2013<\/p>\n<p><strong>Willie:<\/strong> Uh, <em>or<\/em> before uh, seven o\u2019clock in the <em>morning<\/em>.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Bradshaw:<\/strong> Before seven. Now we don\u2019t get contact that early at this time of the year. Uh, our contact\u2019s sometimes been fading out in the afternoon. It\u2019s\u2013 It\u2019s just hard to say when it will be, but we can try. Now there are a number of other people who\u2019ve also requested phone patches. As you can imagine, people down there want to talk to people here, and people here want to talk down there.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Willie:<\/strong> Sure. Surely.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Bradshaw:<\/strong> Uh\u2013 But have you\u2013 You have been writing her, and has she been answering your letters?<\/p>\n<p><strong>Willie:<\/strong> Well, uh, quite frankly, I kinda gave up on the writing, because I wrote her in August and uh, you know, there\u2019s pretty obvious that she didn\u2019t receive my letter until uh, sometime in December.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Bradshaw:<\/strong> You wrote\u2013 Wait a minute. You wrote her in August?<\/p>\n<p><strong>Willie:<\/strong> Yeah, I mailed her a letter in August, and uh\u2013<\/p>\n<p><strong>Bradshaw:<\/strong> She answered you back in\u2013<\/p>\n<p><strong>Willie:<\/strong> Oh, I don\u2019t know exactly when she answered, but uh, I didn\u2019t hear from her until uh, December, and I got the impression that she didn\u2019t get my letter immediately. In fact, I got the impression\u2013 In fact, I was <em>pretty<\/em> well convinced that she\u2019d gotten my letter quite some time after I had mailed it.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Bradshaw:<\/strong> Oh, yeah, I\u2019m sure, it takes\u2013 it does take a while to get to the interior. I mean, they\u2013 that <em>is<\/em> in the middle of the jungle. And the only form of communication or uh, travel is either the boat by sea or the plane, and then a Land Rover into the settlement.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Willie:<\/strong> Okay, so in other words, the\u2013 the mail goes to Georgetown\u2013<\/p>\n<p><strong>Bradshaw:<\/strong> Right.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Willie:<\/strong> \u2013and then from there it goes to uh, where they are\u2013<\/p>\n<p><strong>Bradshaw:<\/strong> Port Kaituma. Port Kaituma, which is about, hmm, seven or eight miles, maybe ten miles from the actual town of Jonestown. And it would go to Port Kaituma either by the government <em>boat<\/em> that comes around, uh, or by plane. And then from there it would have to get dispersed into Jonestown. But uh, the project itself is pretty self-contained, so the\u2013 that we don\u2019t always make trips into town uh, when the mail does get in as often as it gets in. I don\u2019t even know how often, but I know that that\u2013 it\u2019s the\u2013 the usual problem is the delay from Georgetown to\u2013<\/p>\n<p><strong>Willie:<\/strong> Yeah, let me give you a\u2013 a for-instance. When my grandmother died uh, oh, I guess, the first part of December, in fact, it <em>was<\/em> the first part of December, uh, the message didn\u2019t get to her <em>soon<\/em> enough, even if she uh, had <em>desired<\/em> to come home for the funeral.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Bradshaw:<\/strong> No, no, that\u2019s not true. Uh, I talked to Claire about that, and she mentioned that very thing, so I got back on the radio to find out what the problem was, and they\u2013 timewise, and that is <em>not<\/em> true. She <em>was<\/em> told, and she was mixed up on the dates and uh, you can ask the children, you know, when you talk to them, or ask her even if she didn\u2019t know about it, because they <em>do<\/em> tell people. We have radio communication every day here, they do tell\u2013 I know personally, they\u2019ve told in other uh, personal crisis in families, they\u2019ve told them <em>immediately<\/em>\u2013<\/p>\n<p><strong>Willie:<\/strong> I see.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Bradshaw:<\/strong> \u2013because when Claire mentioned that\u2013 that that\u2019s what she <em>thought<\/em>, I understood her worry, and I went right after that, put it on the radio, <em>asking<\/em> what\u2013 what was the problem with the date and the confusion of the date. And that was the answer. She <em>was<\/em> told, so that she could have come back. Uh, so when you talk to your mom, you can ask her that, or you can talk to any of the <em>kids<\/em> and ask them if they didn\u2019t know.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Willie:<\/strong> Yeah, I have no reason to doubt what you\u2019re telling me, uh\u2013 I guess what I\u2019m really trying to conceive (laughs) is why she didn\u2019t come back.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Bradshaw:<\/strong> Yeah, I understand. It\u2019s\u2013 it\u2019s difficult, uh\u2013 it\u2019s difficult to\u2013 to understand the breaking of tradition. You know, I\u2013 I do understand that, uh, but it is\u2013 it\u2019s a\u2013 it\u2019s a whole other life, it\u2013 it\u2019s\u2013 it\u2019s a beautiful, beautiful place and it\u2019s just\u2013 it\u2019s up to everyone\u2019s personal\u2013 If they\u2013 if they wish to come back to a funeral, it would be up to them. If they feel that it\u2019s\u2013 would just be too painful or not their orientation, then it\u2013 <em>that\u2019s<\/em> up to them too, but she <em>was<\/em> told. She was told in time to be able to come back, uh\u2013 \u2018Course, it takes several days to get out of the interior to Georgetown, because they do not have transportation every day. The planes don\u2019t fly every day.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Willie:<\/strong> Okay. Assuming if she had wanted to come back, uh, just based on your experience, how long does it normally take one to uh, get back to the States.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Bradshaw:<\/strong> If she had wanted to come back, uh, it woulda depended on which day of the week, because they only have flights out, (pause) let\u2019s see, two or three times a week. I forget which. That\u2013 if that is from the nearest town, which is 40 miles away.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Willie:<\/strong> Surely.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Bradshaw:<\/strong> So, you have to get from Jonestown <em>to<\/em> Matthews Ridge, which is 40 miles by jungle road to uh, Matthews Ridge, and then the planes go from there, I\u2019m not sure, either two or three times a week, so it woulda depended on what day.

Uh, I know what you\u2019re saying, only it\u2019s such a painful thing, and\u2013 and Jim uh\u2013 this child [John Victor Stoen]\u2013 she [Grace Stoen] walked off and left him, you know, <em>with<\/em> us about two years ago, and it\u2013 it will be a devastating thing for the child.

But then that\u2019s always destructive too. I have found out with people \u2013 adopted people, you know \u2013 after they\u2013 a while, they grow up, and then they begin to worry about, what was my mother like, and then they start searching around and chase around. I know a\u2013 a lot of them, and they\u2019ll find some woman, what, she\u2013 she\u2019d been a prostitute.

As a matter of fact, I took our <em>black<\/em> son [Jim Jones Jr.] back to Indiana to <em>trace<\/em> his roots, because he <em>was<\/em> interested in it, and I believe that when that times comes, we should allow it, and I\u2019m sure Jim will.
