Dearest Jackie -

Thought you might find the enclosed interesting and that it might provide a nostalgic kick.
Rushmore is now the chairman of the board and president emeritus of the Firebrick Co. Ever think

of the distance from Mexico, Mo to Long Island and a barbecue pit? And all because of a story in the Envil!! [sic - Anvil]

How come the editor and circulation manager haven't received like recognition and acclaim?
Balch isn't followin' writin' any more I heard. He's a comedian on the Borsht circuit, in a family act. Studs Terkel is his

body guard and manager. Goldie is writing the material. why don't you dig ?in?

I've grown obese and gross this past year. Weigh almost 200 lbs. I'm up to a case of beer a day and I consume 8 benzedrine

sandwiches in the cool of the evening.

If you look in the guest house you'll find God's Angry man? still writin' away. Always, B.
