Dear Phil [Blakey],
Hi! Thanks for the 2 lovely informative letters. The drawings were good and the world renowned artist, Michelangelo, said he wanted to buy it from me. Of course I refused him the privilege and he was very upset – evidently he went to the airport after speaking with me. I heard that he will be arriving soon on your shrimp boat.
The helicopter number he can be identified by is 007 – so beware! I think he has had movies made of him – alias James Michelangelo Bond.
The mailman is screaming at me to hurry and get done with this letter. She’s a new one on this route – Jean Brown

This weekend we are in LA for the first time since the vacation. It’s nice to have the family back after 3 weeks of doing the SF meetings without them.
Father is as healthy and sound in his judgment as ever, and as usually true. We stand and complete respect and awe. Always he shows us more ways of dealing with what seemed to be a barrier but through his great teachings we find it only a stepping stone.
He speaks of you often, Phil, with admiration and peace. You give him a column of mine because of your sweet dedication & dependency. We miss you. Peace, Debbie.

Letter to Niece
My dear OSHCANAZY Sarah
Thanks for the letter. In all my life I have never thought to get a note from the world’s most nutty character. I am glad that you have a chance to go to the piggery and see your little friends. Perhaps with a lot of persuasion and discussion you could get a hippo infirmary there, so that you could have them nearby and nurse them to health. Sarah the hippo aide. That does not include, in the same definition: human hippos… No Sarah, your truly an animal and toe lover. Perhaps you could even work in the podiatry ward, with those whose toes more attention than just a sock and a shoe. Toes that need affection and someone to talk to them now and them, without plugging up their noses at the poor little quadrupelites. Although you may not agree, you are also a good one with kids… You excite their imaginations and cause them to do some thinking for themselves. I won’t write you up as an intriguing addition to the high school, but you ought to take it into consideration. I sure wouldn’t have minded having you as an instructor when I was in school. Not that I was a studious student, but you would have at least made the class interesting enough not to cut.
Well, it sounds as though I will be coming down for a short visit to bring Lisa and get her settled and then return to the brewing shit pot of polluted SF. This place really does a good job of sucking. Not only is the media out to kill us, but they’re after (and as of a day ago they got) Bert Lance. Although the guy may have had some skeletons in his closet, the press has smeared his name all over, made innuendos, and nebulous charges to the point that he had to resign. This whole thing is a ploy to ruin Carter’s popularity and may I add they have done an excellent job. Carter came to his press conference to relay the news with teary eyes and a couple of gulps. The press evenly questioning statement about the president’s loyalty to a lifelong friend. The whole thing stinks. They won’t let it die. One of the recent comments made on the Walter Cronkite news, by one of the reporters, is that the most popular type of reporting now is the investigative stuff. Everyone is trying to uncover a “cover-up” story. Everyone is trying to get a name for themself. We might as well put Channel 2 at the top of the list in that case.
Is there anything that I can get you, which you may have left without, since you had little warning and you left with just a minimal amount of goods. I hope that you have enough of the necessities to keep yourself as cool as possible whenever possible. Anyway, please send me a word when and if you find yourself needing something that you left here. Even some of the articles that you would need to assist you in writing career.
Well my dear I have run out of words and things to say. I will be looking forward to seeing you in your habitat there; which has to beat the non-windowed closets that we have here. You must be getting to be a real well browned little semite.
Peace sister, and take care of yourself, the people, and the man who made it all possible.
Your comrade, Lucinda db aka Blimping Donuts

Dear Annalisa, my dearest sister,
Due to the problems that I have been having with dad, I have really let go of my health. I realize it is a death wish, because I no longer want to be forced to cope with dad’s harassing me.
It has been consistently becoming more apparent. For example when I’m driving my car, the Pinto dad gave me, I often fall asleep at the wheel and have already had one accident.
The pain that Dad puts me through each time that I see him is just so horrible! I don’t want to take it any longer. Don’t get me wrong, it’s not that I purposely trying to kill myself, but it’s my sub-mind that is causing these acts of mine.
I realize that it is my own fault to allow dad to get to me, but it is affecting me critically in both health and personality. Debbie Blakey

Dear Annie Ampersterdam Moore,
Well, it’s been too long since I’ve written you & so this letter is truly long overdue. Things are as foul as they ever could be here in this fascist-media state. Tonight on Walter Cronkite one of the news commentators made the remark that: ever since the Watergate undercover story & the fame that the two brothers got from writing it, now the “mass-cool” thing to do, you, a journalist, wants to make a name for yourself – become an investigative reporter.
The comment was made in reference to the recent Bert Lance affair here. This guy was appointed by Carter as the head

of the Budget Finance, Director. The press is trying not to get at Carter now because of his recent liberal stand on the Panama Canal. They decided to take deep into a cabinet member past & make a close buddy to the president look like a crook. They did an excellent job.
They got Lance to resign, made the public support for Carter go down 40% & now we are back to the press attacking the President as repeating the scandalous past of Nixon. The whole thing stinks & it is so damn close to our situation too.
People are now getting scared. Slowly they see if they can get B. Lance, for shit years past, they are close to everyone’s backyard.
Your Comrade, Debbie
