	The  XGP  only  started working a month ago, and we are still
collecting different sizes and shapes  of  characters  for  it.   The
Russian   font  used  in  this  letter  was  photographed  using  the
television camera from the alphabet at the beginning of a textbook of
Russian.  We  would like to get a Russian font book, i.e. a book with
many alphabets in different sizes and styles.  We hope to be able  to
get  printing  almost  of book quality from the printer.  It has also
been used to print logic diagrams from the foonly project.

	It looks like the production documentation for foonly will be
completed  in  another month, but the government has lost patience so
that production is  uncertain.   At  least  one  commercial  firm  is
interested in producing the machine.

	While  I  was  at M.I.T., I did not make much progress in the
writing I was going to do, so I have decided not to make any  foreign
trips this year.

	We  received a film from Okhotsimsky and have sent him one of
ours in return and also a recent thesis he requested.

	We are looking  forward  to  seeing  you  at  the  Artificial
Intelligence  Conference.   If  you  can  come early or stay late, we
would be glad to have you as our guest.
