Letter
to Chris from Gillian and me written August 7, 1972 (never sent)
Dearest
Toad:
How goes it? This is Gillian writing this but it's from me
& Alan R. Sweet fuck all is happening. We're looking forward
to your coming home. Alice Cooper is coming to Pierrefonds
Arena on the 21st I think but I'm not sure. It may be on the
22nd or 23rd. I just said the 21st to scare you.

Groovy
man like what can I tell ya? Alan is home-my Alan not Alan
R. I knew you'd be thrilled to hear. I am shitty at writing
letters in case you haven't noticed. We're gonna make a movie
when Ralph & Company get back. We're gonna have that faggot
scene from Monty Python with all the soldiers. Tell me one
thing I've always wanted to know for all my life-can toads
really salute or do they just fake it. If you don't fake it,
don't get your webbed feet caught in your beautiful green
eyes. It must be hard to get your green bowlegged knees into
the uniform or do you have one tailor made?
I'M
SORRY I STILL LOVE YOU
I know
what you're thinking You: Urge to kill
Bye
for now
Love
& kisses

that when I take it home I will just fill it in again.
