    Dear Whitley,

       This  is my fourth and final letter to you in regards to the  rather 
    nebulous  structure  and lack of adept leadership of the  Chicago  area 
    "Communion"   group.   I   really do not understand why  you  have  not 
    responded to my questions. 

       To reiterate my grievance,  half of the group was "voted"  out at  a 
    clandestine meeting, by members that had never even met me or my fellow 
    excommunicates.   The group has become a small,  secretive,   cult-like 
    oterie,  which has no intention or aspiration of unraveling the mystery 
    of the visitors. 

       There is virtually no organized interaction between groups,  and the 
    Communion  network (through which I have made many important  contacts) 
    seems   to  be  disintegrating.   I   have  been  trying  to  locate  a 
    hypnotherapist  for a witness living in a remote area of  Oregon,   but 
    have had no success. I thought this is what the "Communion" groups were 
    supposed to be all about. People helping people. Perhaps I am wrong. 

       In any case, I would greatly appreciate your input in this matter if 
    for  nothing  more than to reaffirm my belief in your  earnestness  and 
    consideration. You stated in an interview with Larry King that you have 
    only told about ten percent of your story. Don't you think it's time to 
    get on with it?  Individually,  we are ineffectual, but as a group,  we 
    can work miracles. 

    Best wishes, 

    Sheldon Wernikoff
