Curiously enough, police searching Helen Kroger's handbag had found a microdot message from Lonsdale's wife and a six-page handwritten letter in Russian from Lonsdale in reply. Wrote his wife: "How unjust is life. I fully understand you are working and this is your duty and you love your work and try to do all this very conscientiously.
