A Letter from David

San Francisco, January 1974: I've received a letter from my little brother David (15) in Henrietta Texas. It is (badly) typewritten, with many strike-outs. It says ...

Dear Richard,

I have written you because I should.

I typed this letter because I felt that you could not read my writting. Donot laugh at my spelling or my toping. I used your typewritter (I did not think that you would mind, DO YOU)?

I have a thing against long letters. In your letter to MOM you spelled TEXAS TLxas. Uncle Richard is coming to see us, and my motorcycle is O.K..I'm fine. I think MOM says HI and sends her LOVE. Are you O.K..

I HAVE WRITTEN THIS LETTER LIKE WILMA WOULD.

DAVIS S. (Your Not So Good Brother)

P.S. Kitty says HI. and MOM is leaving for Europe in MARCH
