Newberry Library - MacDonald, Barbara, Ben Hecht incoming correspondence, 1963

User-Contributed Transcription during the race, and the ambulance didn't go out once, but after the race some damned rebels got beered up (they usually don't sell beer at races, because it doesn't go with driving a motorcycle!) - and started fights - hit cops and everything - so then the ambulance went into action! I got sick to my stomach - never saw that kind of violence close up - and I can't see how people can be so small! Thank God there were only motorcyclists there and no one just trying to prove motorcyclists are no damned good! They could have proved it that day! What a bunch of drunken rebel hoods!
So much for that!
Take care of yourselves - and someday I'll see you again.
With love,
Barbara MacDonald
