Ms Kanturkova thanked MT for her interest and help in her case, and asked her, in terms echoed later in the Bruges speech of September 1988, “to keep in mind at all levels of European decision-making that Bohemia is a land of old European culture of emotion and mind, that Czechoslovakia has not ceased to be a part of Europe”. The letter was sent from Prague, dated 24 October 1979.
