"My Aparition. 17 Sept. 1966.
Dear Nurse Margot, I would like to tel you al about my apparition. My apration was a homling sucess. I euss it was, because I certanly did a lot of homling!!! They made me tak of al my close, which I thot funny since it was an apration on my hand. Then they roled me onto a table. I said, "Crazy, dad, I've been under a lott of tables, but never on top of one! OK, where are the girls?!" But I didnt get any laffs! These docters have no sense of humor (only cents of dollars! get it?)
Anyhow, I just wanted you to no al is well, and that my apration has in no way bothered me, physicly or mentaly, and has not afected neither my penmanship, speling, or briliant mind. I am glad, because without these a profesional authuor would really be up the Creak!
Patiently (get it?!!)
Lloyd Alexander"
