Fragments of a draft letter, possibly mis-ordered, from James Acord to Janet Galore, c. 31 May 2002. Acord attempted to type this as an email to Janet, but had issues, and ended up sending these pages, many of which are written on the back of email correspondence printouts between him and James Flint, Tom Putnam, and Fred Moody.
Some of the topics noted in the handwritten pages include: (1) The Doghouse in Seattle, and some memories of it; (2) other Seattle locations that are gone, including the Ballard Smoke Shop; (3) his continued gun ownership; (4) life at the Starlight, a prostitute he liked, and some characters he met there; (5) his emotional challenges, and his pleasure drawing.
