I don't usually get upset about the letters but these really hurt. Again, I typed them with their original mistakes. David dropped out of school in either ninth or tenth grade. He, Dad and Charlotte always struggled with spelling, but David was also dyslexic and along with the schizophrenia and medication or the lack thereof...
I don't know if he's writing from jail or a mental health ward. Could be either. I have nothing else from him.
We spent a few months together once I moved in with Mom in September, 1980 then I never saw him again.
They are buried side by side in Rosehill Cemetary, Fort Worth, Texas.
