Dear Gillian,
I’ll be honest with you — I
bought you this based on
a misreading of the title.
Don’t worry though, this
gift is just to tickle you
over anyway. Once you
tell me your shoe size, I’ll
be able to follow-up a hot
lead I’ve got on attractive
acupuncture shoes so cheap
that even Andy will be able
to chip in.
Still, enjoy the book. It
looks promising — especially
since I fixed the title.
Yours Truly,
L.L.

noisy tongues that once were

Joey,
Lenore (?) has some great friends, and in my opinion
you are one of the nicest. I found this book as I was
looking for a card for you last night. I left all my friends
back east and it has been hard on me. This book described a
lot of my thoughts and I thought that you might enjoy it
also. Remember always:
You’ll conquer the present
Suspiciously fast
If you smell of the future
–and stink of the past.
Happy 20th Birthday–Martha

“Hi, I really like your project–I’ve been interested in inscriptions for many years.
This is one of my favorites. I found it in a book of nature photos and short poems.”

Troy,
May you think great thoughts,
and always organize them
diagramatically.

Thanks to Gladys Hernando, who says:
“I found your project and immediately thought of this book I recently
acquired. It’s a book by David Byrne, the musician, of drawings which
map thoughts and ideas.They are simple pencil drawings using the form
of trees, root structures, charts, and different types of diagrams to
organize abstract thought, some funny, some serious, some scientific.
Its pretty cool. I read the whole thing in one night.
The book was published in 2006, and the inscription was written during
the same time. I thought it was kind of sad that whoever received the
book got rid of it fairly quickly. (I purchased it off of Amazon a
month ago.)”
