Description
Typed letter signed. Tells of injuring himself while trying to dance behind Piedy’s back to amuse Mandy. He says it has hurt a lot for a week and everyone is speculating on how it happened. He asks Dorr to keep this secret that he and Mandy have. He will have to receive a degree that he is being given in a wheelchair because he limps too badly to manage the stairs. Says his “record man” tells people that Griffin used to be a great flamenco dancer who was injured when he tried to do his routine on a cement floor.
