Don Nida here. I was down at Hong Kong Louie's on Wilkens Avenue havin me some Sausage, Gravy and Biscuits when Bilwie Thomas came in. I told him that my boy Jesse was fetching to go down to see you down in Florida. After talking with Bilwie for a bit, I got to thinkin that maybe that ain't such a great idea. Bil'wie, he took me on out to the Library in Arbutus and he composed this for me on the computer they have out there. Although I appreciate you havin my boy Jesse down there, I think I'm going to have to keep him here. Although Jesse is as big as an ox, he's nowhere near as smart, and although the boy means no harm, if he gets down lookin at some of them Southern gals all cow eyed and stuff, I'm afraid some of those Suf'ern boys might take offense to it, and want to where Jesse out. Since my folks are from Tennesee, I know how chivalous those Suf'ern boys can be.

I know Jesse will be disappointed, but since he's like a Goldfish and has the memory span of three seconds, I'll give him a few dol'ers and let him go play Paintball and everything will be right with the world.

If you ever get up this way I'll buy you a coffee from down at Louie's.

Thanks again and good luck to you down there in Bama.

Don Nida.
