WARSAW,
26 April 1981
Dear Daniel!
After returning from Sofia with
several officers from the General Staff,
we discussed the
current situation in Poland, a situation that, from the military point of
view, is hopeless. In this extremely gloomy atmosphere, one of the most
committed officers openly said that Poland had to undertake far-reaching
political reforms. Gen. XXX
bitterly accused
"the Americans [of having] sold us out to Russia. Without the
Americans' silent assent, the 'comrades' would not dare to act this
way." We are now very desperate, but we have not lost hope that Gen.
XXX is wrong! Appropriate use must be made of the flood of information he
is sending to you.
We Poles realize that we must fight
for our own freedom, if necessary making the ultimate sacrifice. I
remained convinced that the support your country has been giving to all
who are fighting for that freedom will bring us closer to our goal.
Thank you for your most recent,
pleasant letter.
With heartfelt greetings. Yours, PV
