The remaining amount 82 francs were sent to Vram’s sister, 200 given to Nevrouze (in Geneva) and the remaining given for the travel expense of Mrs. and Miss Yeprem.

And to think that those inviolable monies are under the name that has so lulled our boys with hope. Poor Mr. Anton, in whose care the monies have supposedly been put, they have been forced on the occasion from his hand because, for example, Aharonian himself supposedly did not want to give travel expenses for Yeprem’s daughter or wife and any other way, and so it has been taken from the “inviolable fund.” I don’t want to continue; blood pours out of my heart.

I wrote about this to Garo as well. Those three people who are tied to those monies, let them have a conscience regarding the feelings and sweat of the Armenian American ungers. One of them is a member of the present Central Committee.

I demand that, as an unger, accounts be looked at and these monies at least the remnants, only be used for their purpose, in order to bring about results.

Given the years of friendship between Natalie and Sachaklian, it is not surprising that Natalie wrote personal letters to the latter in which he offered more detailed information than he provided to the Central Committee. In his October 4 letter to Sachaklian, Natalie reveals how he gets his information—he bribes secret policemen and border officials in European countries to let him know when the Turkish officials they are hunting pass through borders. He has given these officials a list, and when one of the CUP leaders they are hunting passes through the border and this can be verified, the Armenians pay more. Since Sachaklian is the man to raise and send the money, Natalie must explain how this money was spent, given the high cost of the bribery. He also describes the logistical difficulties of travel and unburdens himself regarding the frustration produced by dealing with incompetent collaborators who are only after money and the resultant emotional strain he is under, a product of his isolation and the tension produced by his task and the risks he assumes to complete it. While Natalie did indeed have a romantic/hyperbolic nature, it is true that, as he writes at the end of the letter, any letter might have been his last.

Geneva, October 4, 1920

Dear Sachaklian,

Several days ago I wrote you a letter—hope that it reached you safely.

Before leaving for Berlin here is yet a second letter where I will work to give in a concise manner the conclusions I have reached as a result of my research.

It is possible to do work here and I have decided to do it at any price. And with that decision I departed, except that today I know several things, which unfortunately I didn’t know in that place.

In order to get daily news here establishing a bureau is necessary, in other words to have someone.
