"THE REVEREND ELTON JONES The Rescue Mission Dakota, IA 6/24/05
Dear Mr Rove:
Perhaps you have heard of me and my nationwide campaign in the cause of temperance. Each year for the past fourteen, I have made a tour of Florida and southern Georgia, up through Indiana, Iowa, and Illinois and have delivered a series of lectures on the evils of drinking & drug abuse. On this tour I have been accompanied by my young friend, Clyde Lindstrome. Clyde, a young man of good family and excellent background, is a pathetic example of a life ruined by excessive indulgence in whiskey and drugs.
Clyde would appear with me at the lectures and sit on the platform, wheezing and staring at the audience through bleary, bloodshot eyes, sweating profusely, picking his nose, passing gas, and making obscene gestures, while I would point him out as an example of what over-indulgence can do to a person.
Last spring, unfortunately, Clyde died. A mutual friend has given me your name and I wonder if you would be available to take Clyde’s place on my fall tour?
Yours in faith,
Reverend Elton Jones RESCUE MISSION"
