I will probably scream so loud they'll make me stay two more years. Ha! I can hardly wait to start singing, traveling, making movies, and above all, seeing the old gang and old Graceland. All I do is sit and count the days. Well, it'll be over in about 15 months, and as Gen. [Douglas] MacArthur said, "I shall return." Tell D.J. [deejay George Klein], uh, and Lewis, [sic] [Louis Harris] I said hello and to hold down the fort till I get back. If you see cous [cousin Gene Smith] tell him I said ep skep skep skep. I have been dating this little German "Chuckaloid" by the name of Margrit [sic] [pinup model Margit Buergin]. She looks a lot like B.B. [Brigitte Bardot]. It's Grind City [a steamy affair]. Well, I gotta go wade in the mud.
Your Pal,
