Dear [REDACTED],

I mailed some information to you yesterday; I have kept so much paper work that probably I can reconstruct the 17 years [REDACTED] and I were married. Fortunately, or unfortunately, I really do not remember very much accurately.

I wanted to ask you to please not discuss with the [REDACTED] anything which I write you regarding my feelings. I do not want them to be hurt anymore. I have maintained a relationship with them all through these years [REDACTED] have never communicated with me; in fact, I would appreciate if you could obtain [REDACTED] addresses' for me) They [REDACTED] were involved with most of the information which I mailed to you.

I told you yesterday I was very angry when I received your letter dated January 24, 1973. In it you wrote: [REDACTED] [REDACTED]

Do you still believe what you wrote? What did you base [REDACTED] [REDACTED] on? What do you know about [REDACTED] which would make you write that? I believe everything can be in the [REDACTED] ..........because God allows us to screw up everyday! But I think that precludes the statement that everything will work out as God so desires; I cannot believe the last 25 years have been as God so desires. Maybe in your life, but not in mine! (☺)

By the way, I'm no longer angry at you! I should have been courteous enough to answer your letter, but I probably would have written something for which I would have had to apologize! (☺)

I'm also curious.........do you expect to find the same [REDACTED] you played football with???? That might sound "trite", I do not mean it to be. (Have you heard of the book: "Men are from Mars, and Women are from Venus"? Well, that's why I ask these strange questions!) I have had 25 years to analyze these experiences, so, I guess I wonder if you ever picture [REDACTED] as some one who abandoned his family? While it is true, we do not know what happened, and that is what you want to find out, these questions come to my mind. Especially, after visiting [REDACTED] in 1993; I didn't feel they comprehended what [REDACTED] and I had gone through........but were just more interested in what happened to their friend [REDACTED]

I am going to close for this time........you will no doubt receive many more "strange" letters from me along with stuff I gather from the different file cabinets and boxes! Hang in there!!!!!
