[He leaves it at that for the time being. When no response comes, it becomes more obvious what's going on; given that the difficulty in communication seems isolated to John, it's probably a death price.

Please let us know when you're able to see our correspondence. I trust that your companions are on their way--if they haven't already found you--and will do everything in their power to keep you safe.
