ANGEL TOMPKINS. TLS: "Angel", 1p, 6x8. No place, 1972 August 10. To Kenneth. In full: "I will send you a lock of hair from the clippings the next time I get it cut but if you had the trouble with your hair that I have had getting it to grow and be healthy you would protect every strand. Are you still in the Marine Corps? Yes, I still want your photo. What do you plan to do with all of your collected items? The ones in the photo you sent me are fantastic. I have never seen anything like it, especially as complete as yours in a private collection. Is or are there certain qualities in the personality you choose to collect material on that you look for? I have never sent anyone something personal so I will send you a scarf I made myself because I sew, it isn't old because most of the things I wear are relatively recent due to the financial situation of the present and the past. The newly afluent (sic) are never tarnished. Taxes make sure of that. Please don't think I would be bored by anthing you would write you don't appear to be a defensive person at all therefore an interesting one. Where are you from originally? Your family? What is you (sic) astro[logy] sign? Do you have anything in any form of faith that you strongly believe in? the ocult (sic)? Best of Karma".
