Dear Pete

I didn't join the Army like I told you I was gonna. I’d been up almost four days straight when I thought about that. And in the end I almost did myself in, but I guess I just went to bed instead
I ain't shit, and I guess the whole world knows it, at least I know it

I moved again, and I sorta fell in with some hard folks. They ain't up to much good, and I guess I ain’t either. I hope you got the money order for $3,000 dollars and my will
Sorry about all the trouble I caused back home, and say goodbye to Arlo and Marie and JP and all the guys at my old job for me

Your friend
Walter
