Hi Brother Adam,
26th Jan ‘87’
You’re beginning at last to sound like a Jew spewing out the figures of your finances but I’m confident that by the time this letter reaches London town, you’ll be back to your habitual bankrupt condition. An Adam with bucks in the bank sounds distinctly unhealthy.
Here it’s the same old waiting game, keeping it together by concentrating on my kids but that just leads to another kind of insanity.
Only 104 days left, nothing compared to the time under my belt, but Jesus are they passing slowly. I’m trying to concentrate on the moment but thoughts keep tangenting off to the great outside
Hey, remember Mandy J————from Chelsea C.N.D. days, she spotted one of my letters in the ‘Observer’ and wrote, she’s an actress / teacher / two kidded mum living up in East Anglia.
And Adam, seeing as I’ll just have to do the decent thing and hang out in Berlin, would you have the guts to brave the Iron Curtain to visit for a while. Dear Daddy has buckets of East Marks to spend, a weakness for even unsuccessful artists and, the ultimate lure, one of his jobs is to interview young dancers and actresses for the State Art School. Think about it, there may be no other way to get together for ages.
Sorry, the Gov wants to see me, be back in moment,
The moment lasted 3 hours, part of a far too obvious game being played by the Gov to ingratiate himself both in my eyes and before his superiors.
Like a pet monkey I was paraded before a visiting Judge and his old lady ,listened politely to their coos over my fluent Turkish and took my leave without scratching an armpit. I’m tempted to really blast out to the press when I’m free and really speak my mind about their fucking penal system but that would be childish and anyway change nothing. The state of prisons is the least of the problems facing Turkey having suppressed the commies and fascists the generals are now back in the shit dealing with Islamic fundamentalists. The entire country is now buzzing with the kafka-esque threat of the headscarf, the generals say it’s only worn as a form of civil disobedience, the women say they wear it to keep their hair in place and the men are saying rather loudly ‘’ lock up the fascists, torture the commies but keep your hands off our women’’. You’ve got to admit with such comedies going on, the Turks are endearingly irresistible.
O.K. Adam, I’m signing off, you may be freezing 2 degrees under but the weather here has turned agreeably mild and I’m off for a pleasant walk in the sunshine. Eat your heart out snowman.

Love D-nny
