Louie turned around and shipped them right back to her.

Dere Sharon,

You got no biznes gettin rid of these letters, speshly since you have never red them in the 16 years you have held them. I ain't never figgered out if you has been chasin' ghosts or runnin' from them these years, and I dont reckon you have figgered that out either. You has done played in every band that almost made it between New Orleans, Memphis and Tulsa, covered every inch of country west of the Mississippi, and got yerself a graduate degree that you ain't never used. But you ain't never been back home once.

Now Sharon, I has held my peece and minded my business all these years, but that hole that you been tryin' to fill ain't gonna be filled with nothin' but home. It is time you came back here, at least for a visit. Besides, I'm probly gonna have to do some time on these moonshinin' charges, and I need you here for Hazel and the kids.

                                                                               Yer Oldest Pal,

                                                                               Louie
