TANGLE TALK

GOOD BYE MORON: I SAT MYSELF DOWN, PENCIL IN HAND, TO
TYPEWRITE YOU A LETTER. PARDON THE INK. I DO NOT LIVE
WHERRE I LIVED BEFORE, BECAUSE I MOVED TO WHERE I DO NOW.
I AM SORRY WE ARE SO FAR TOGETHER, I WISH WE WERE CLOSER
APART. WE ARE HAVING MORE WEATHER THIS YEAR THAN LAST YEAR.
MY AUNT NELLIE DIES AND IS DOING FINE. HOPE YOU ARE THE SAME.
I STARTED TO FLORIDA TO SEE YOU AND I SAW A SIGN THAT SAID,
"THIS TAKES YOU TO MIAMI", SO I GOT ON THE SIGN AND SAT THERE FOR
THREE HOURS, AND THE DARN THING DIDN'T MOVE. I AM MAILING
YOU A COAT BE EXPRESS, I CUT OFF THE BUTTONS TO MAKE IT
LIGHTER. THEY ARE IN THE POCKETS. IF YOU DON'T GET THIS LETTER
LET ME KNOW AND I WILL MAIL IT TO YOU. OUR NEIGHBOR'S BABY
SWALLOWED SOME PINS BUT THEY FED IT A PIN CUSHION SO
EVERYTHING IS O.K. NOW. I WOULD SEND YOU THE SIX DOLLARS
I OWE YOU BUT I DIDN'T THINK OF IT UNTIL I SEALED THE
ENVELOPE. ENCLOSED YOU WILL FIND A PICTURE, BUT FOR FEAR
OF LOSING IT, I TOOK IT OUT. HELLO,_____________
