Wowza! Never seen this before.
What a great find.
I wonder if his handwriting is still like this?! So childlike and almost insane...!
Love it!

Have you seen the letters he wrote to Robert Mackie?

His handwriting is nearly as bad as mine.

I think his ampersand just made me pee in my pants with excitement a lil bit. Just a lil bit.

There are a couple more letter snippets like that as well, actually.

Quoting Shakespeare and discussing fans who cry themselves to sleep listening to 'Hand in glove'...good stuff.

Interesting from a historical and psychoanalytical standpoint...and almost unsettling in a way, especially when the handwriting started to lean and become less legible.
