	This is a transcript of an undated note to Earl Jackson, a Temple parishioner, which Jones wrote on letterhead from a Temple enterprise in Indianapolis. If the stationary is contemporary to the letter, the note is from an eight-year span of Peoples Temple’s existence in Indianapolis from 1957 to 1965; several references to a Christian God make it more likely the note predated Jones’ departure for Brazil in 1961.

	The infamous Jim Jones was responsible for the deaths of 909 of his followers by cyanide poisoning in Jonestown, Guyana on November 18, 1978. 303 of the casualties were children. In addition, Jones' followers also killed Congressman Leo Ryan and four others immediately prior to the mass slaughter of his followers. These deaths constituted the greatest single loss of American civilian life in a deliberate act until the September 11, 2001 attack.
