E. St. Louis, Ill.
Dear Jack-
Here's news from
O'Bleake. Sure takes a lot of dough
to keep a man in a Southern jail.
Do you suppose he has a capricious
jockey[?] whose tastes are notorious?
Blake's charm along with his teeth
and hair are [?]. About the only
sex[?] he gets is what he buys. Jail
house whores are probably like whores
every where. They charge freaks extra.
Always got the
autumn blues about this time of
year. Painful, like the art[?] was
to the broad in Miss Lonely hearts.
May come up for a seminar on the
early J. Wharton Bolch[?] and his influence
on Dr. A.
Mentioned obliquely
to the Dr. that J. Wharton B., was engaged
by Otto P., to take the Homeric
passages out of the arm[?] for the
movie. Expect a stinging reply
immediately on reference to it
several yrs hence.
Is there a racetrack
in Middle[?]? Otherwise why is Jimmy
moving there?
Yrs,
Bud.
