Ya know, in all the years I’ve listened to that song, I never could hear that part until you mentioned it now. Maybe I heard it, and just didn’t pay attention. I almost feel really awkward asking who wrote the letter. Either way, I was just amazed that the two are connected. After reading this several times, and then listening to the song, it’s like really amazing how he acknowledged the letter in the song. After reading your post, it’s more than obvious he was responding to that letter. Such an amazing story. Thank you for posting this, honeychile. I never knew this was posted before.

I wrote the letter, standing exactly where John collapsed after being shot. How I wish I had a copy of it!
