ELEY WILLIAMS: Three Pieces

 

Like every other love letter since the dawn of etc it is not at all important but I think you should know
that I do not type well and in fact for example only today I noticed a once-important page now incorrectly
bears the title List of Famous People Who Owed Chow Dogs and it is not crucial but perhaps you would like
