Elie Wiesel writes to Colin Powell on June 24, 2003, expressing deep regret for being unable to fulfill a mission in Vienna that Powell had entrusted to him. He mentions that Ambassador Tom Miller, whom he describes as a fine member of the Foreign Service, likely conveyed his appreciation for Powell's message and President George Bush Sr.'s phone call. Wiesel explains that his inability to travel was due to a health emergency, as he ended up in an Intensive Care Unit at a Greek hospital instead of delivering a keynote address in Austria and concluding remarks in Jordan. He concludes by expressing a desire to meet soon, indicating there is much more to discuss.
