Hello, my dear, dearly loved Valya, Helen and checkmark! Decided here is to write a few lines to share with you and to share with those of joy and happiness that I have fallen today. < Today, a government commission decided to send me to the first space.
You know, dear Valya, I am happy, I want to and you were pleased with me. An ordinary person entrusted with such a large state task - to build the first road into space! Can you dream big? After all, this is - the story is - a new era! The next day I should start. You at this time going about their business. A very large task fell on my shoulders.

I would like this to stay a little longer with you, talk to you. But, alas, you're away. However, I always feel you beside me.

The technique I trust completely. It should not take. But there is in fact that of the blue man falls and breaks his neck. Here, too, something can happen. But I myself is do not believe it. Well, if that happens, then I ask you first of all you, Valya, not killed with grief. After all, life is life, and no one is guaranteed that it will not crush the car tomorrow. Take care, please, our girls love them as I love myself. Grow of them, please do not shirkers, no mama's daughters, and these people who are potholes of life would not have been afraid.

Grow people worthy of a new society - communism. This will help you state. Well, to arrange his personal life, as the conscience tells you, as it sees fit. No, I do not impose obligations on you and it is not right to do so. Something too mournful letter obtained. I myself do not believe it. I hope this letter you will never see, and I would be ashamed of myself for that fleeting weakness. But if something happens, you have to know everything to the end.

I still live honestly, truthfully, for the benefit of people, and even though it was small. Once, as a child, I read the words Chkalov: «To be, then be the first." So I try to be them, and I will until the end.
Valya, you, please, do not forget my parents, if possible, help in anything. Tell them from me a big hello and let them forgive me for what they did not know about anything, but they are not supposed to know. Well, it seems, and everything.

Goodbye, my family.

Tightly you hugs and kisses, greetings, your dad and Jura. 10/04/1961 of
