In my dream, I not only know the name 'Carpethia', but I also know that I am in peril as I lie and wait and watch the wave swiftly approaching me. I am swept away into the current..but I never know if I die or not... I have no idea what all this means and why it is recurring...that specificf name 'Carpethia' and the ocean waves, and death...

The letters are fictional written my me, Dave Olson. I haven't written a part two yet and the note to readers alludes to Henri's fate. You can learn more about LfR at this podcast interview on Santa Cruz free radio. I also produced paintings to go along the letters which i wrote by hand in the summer of 2004 and bundled into a book made of wood and hemp. Wondering what to do with the project next. http://feasthouse.wordpress.com/2008/01/19/letters-from-russia-on-santa-cruz-free-radio/ Thanks for your interest.

It sounds terrific. Is this fictional or non-fiction? Based on Fact? I know people that are trying to find out what this town actually looks and feels like because their ancestors came from this town in Russia. How do I receive updates from you?

Where'd you get them from? I am researching the war of 1812 for a school essay and am finding it very hard to come across any actual letters and so any information about your sources would be appreciated.
