Dear Jack-
J.M. Blue and his old lady took
off the other day and left me here with the
hurricanes and hebes. Blue went fishin',
several times in the Gulf/[?] The story
was the same each time, according to Jesse[?],
A Jew-fish swiped all the bait. I don't
need to tell you that he left in a huff.
I've worked out a theory
that the [?] [?], so abundant here,
have a direct effect on the gonads.[?] All the
bartenders, waiters, clerks, bell boys, salesmen, etc
are gay. I believe it is a condition of
employment.
Blue will give you the
ghastly details of an encounter I had with
an alleged singer. I shudder at the memory.
"Her" name is Rudy.
When are you going to
be called by the Thomas Committee? If the
Dr. is called shouldn't those voyer[?] pictures
of guggy[?] be introduced as evidence?
