IT IS ASTHOUGH [sic] WE HAD SOCIALISM WORKING FOR A CERTAIN CLASS AND A DOG-EAT-DOG SYSTEM WORKING FOR A CERTAIN CLASS. DO YOU AGREE? THIS COULD BE FOLLOWED UP AND SOME DIFFERENCES MADE. I WOULD NOT LIKE THE DIFFERENCES MADE TO MY DISFAVOR.

   RECENTLY I HAD TO GO TO NATIONAL INSTITUTES OF HEALTH, BETHESDA, MARYLAND - WE WILL SPARE YOU THE DETAILS OF MY BUS TRIP, THREE CHANGES ENROUTE AND THREE CHANGES RETURN - A STOP AT THE OLD HEIDELBERG ON WAY BACK - I LIKE MY LOCAL DOCTOR - BUT I THINK HE IS TIRED OF ME - HE WANTS ME OFF - I OWE HIM $300 in back fees - fees he charged me ILLEGALLY - fees he charged beyond the fees allowed by the BLUESHIEILD [sic] - he knows this and still he charges, them, I refused to pay.

Yours, in travail, Jack
