A personal letter from 'Pe.' in Berlin to 'Elie' dated June 26, 1999. The author expresses strong agreement with Elie's judgments on Kosovo and columns in Dagens Nyheter, crediting Elie with teaching him a lot over 20 years. The author is finishing a stay at Wissenschaftskolleg zu Berlin, planning to travel to Sweden, and recently visited Jerusalem. He mentions Michael potentially becoming a leading political figure and another student of Elie's making an impact. Enclosed are two speeches by 'Andy' (on Sweden and 'deniers') and 'Jamine' (on war/mass murder), which are academic versions of ideas the author worked on in the 90s, inspired by Elie. Pe. conveys deep personal affection, missing Elie's voice, humor, encouragement, and moral strength, and frequently quotes him. The letter concludes with hopes to meet soon and shares family news: his oldest son, John, is marrying at the Swedish Embassy in Paris on October 27th. He also sends love to Marion and asks why she hasn't called, providing a phone number.
