You asked me a lot of questions, and I’ll try to answer some of them. I don’t have any photos of myself but I’d like to see one of you. 1) The people here treat me okay. I receive lots of therapy from doctors and spend my spare time watching T.V., listening to music, playing my guitar and reading. 2) Yes, I feel like a celebrity. 3) Yes, I like punk rock but I like the Beatles most of all. 4) I still think about Jodie but don’t write to her. 5) I like the Kennedy’s 6) No I don’t compare myself to Oswald or Ray 7) I like Hill Street Blues, 60 Minutes. Now Edith, you need to answer some questions for me. Tell me about yourself. We can become pen pals and I won’t take so long to answer your next letter.” In fine condition.
