Disclaimer: like I said before own nothin'

Hey Soda,

Darry, told me ya haven't killed anybody yet. Miss ya like heck but I'm getting by. Oh ya wouldn't guess what happened, I'm in the shop right workin' on some guy's truck and Evie comes walking right in and all she does is throws my class ring that I had given her a while back, hard actually, and just walks out. She doesn't say nothin' just walks out. It was weird but think that means we've broken up, not sure since I haven't seen her to talk at all, but hey I'll get over it. Oh, Ponyboy will probably tell you this again but he's got a job and it's your old one. He comes by after school every Tueday and Thursday and does the pumps. Had a rumble the other night, man are those things harder without you, Dally, and Johnny but we got by, and if ya wonderin' it was with the Socs. Don't think they'll ever ease up on us at all, almost jumped Two-Bit but he was himself and didn't let them. Still find it a little funny that you got drafted but they have yet to get me, guess that's the price I pay for bein' a little bit younger than you but that's only by like a month or maybe it's four. So do ya see any action down there? I mean do see planes flyin' over head or people bein' dragged into the base? Do ya see any horses down there or what? Ya gotta tell me somethin' 'bout the place other than what ya told Darry and Ponyboy 'bout the trees and rice. I need somethin' to fill my not always so boring days. Oh, got kicked out again and think it might be for good, man do I hate that man, I don't hate hate him but I seriously dislike him, he can't make up his mind on whether or not he wants me round. So if ya hear 'bout me livin' at your house don't be one bit surprised.

Your Buddie,

Steve Randle
