Letter to Mr. Tkach from Jules Dervaes

Dear Mr. Tkach,
Enclosed please find an article which I am submitting to you as Pastor General of the Worldwide Church of God. If I do not hear from you, then after a week I will distribute this material to others.
Also, included is another letter which I sent to you on February 11. The post office informed me that you would have had to sign for this delivery. I proceeded on the basis of the information at hand but I have since found out that such was not the case.
I know now that you had not received this letter ON THE TWELFTH as I was previously led to believe. I am sorry for any confusion this may have caused.
There is enclosed, too, my wife’s letter to Mr. Salyer on October 4, 1986. In it she asked that you be given it to read. She is concerned that you have not considered her situation. It would be helpful at this Passover time for her to receive a definitive answer from you about the concerns that she expressed.
As I review the situation of the past year, I admit to having often been frustrated by the lack of any response from you directly. I am sorry if I have been too forceful at times. And I apologize for any impatience that I may have shown.
I have tried to remain true to my convictions and firm in my beliefs. At the same time I have had to show respect for the office which was penalizing me for that. This was, indeed, difficult to do. I am sorry for any lack of love that I may have shown you.
The messages that I have been writing to you are too important to have any personal feelings get in the way. Will you please consider them for your sake and for the sake of those who look to you?
Jules Dervaes
