For Joe, on Christmas
1978. This is the only
book I know that moves
as incessantly as you…
with affectation,

P.S. I couldn’t find a Star Wars game.
Dearest of all my Cousins:
This is just to fill your
bookshelves, and, if you need to
pass some time away, you may
read it once over lightly—

STACY,
Hi, I hope you are hav-
ing fun. I haven’t left me
dads work because my mom
hasn’t picked me up yet so
what ya doin. I want you
to met my dad sometime.
In this book I didn’t
mean you were a dog so
don’t think I did. If Wendy
see this book I gave to you
she will be mad so don’t
show it to her. I am
eating corn nuts.
STACY, I want you to do
me another favor.
J.R. You Were either an
ignoramus or a lying
scoundrel!
That it is incroyable is exactly
the point.
To Stan.
I cannot allow other common
friendships to be placed in the same line
with ours. I have as much knowledge of
them as another and of the most perfect
of their kind, but I should not advise any-
one to measure them with the same rule;
he would be much mistaken. In those other
friendships one has to walk with one’s
bridle in one’s hand, prudently and
cautiously: the knot is not tied so tightly
but that it will cause some misgiving —
— But in the other kind where we
exhibit the very depths of our heart and
make no reservations, truly all the springs
of action must be perfectly ‘clear and true’.”
