I see in the papers where Roy Guthrie committed suicide. Why, I wonder? - Robert E. Howard

I saw that — that black thing squatting like an ape among the branches, leering down at me.

I heard from Truett that you fellows are forbidden the company of the girl you were going with. Thats a dirty shame. How come? I suppose its because you tried to act like gentlemen.

I walk from five to fifteen miles a day, no exaggeration, soliciting clothes and delivering them and when I’m not doing that I wash and clean clothes. Not an overly pleasant occupation but I like it all right. I work on commision and ought to make about $40 per month, some months more.
