Dear Stradlater, How is Pencey? Actually never mind I don’t give a damn how that awful place is doing. I’ll tell you how I’m doing though. After I left that god forsaken school I went off to New York for the hell of it and so I can avoid getting yelled at by my parents for as long as possible. On my way up to the big city I ran into a mother going to pencey to visit her damn kid. She was annoyingly curious why I was leaving early so of course I told her that I had to go get heart surgery. The stupid phony woman. New York was alright once I got there. All the people are so phony there though it drives me mad. They are all such stuck up phony adults I can’t take it for too long. One cab driver I had was alright except he didn’t know much and when I asked him a question he would get all pissed off like I had insulted him. All I asked him was where the ducks went in the winter but apparently that was too much to ask of the idiot. I mean for chrissake he had lived there all his life you would think he would know where the damn ducks went. Some weird things happened in New York too. I was going up to my hotel room the first night and a man was in the goddamn elevator with me. He asked me if I wanted a hooker for the night. I mean who wouldn’t say yes to that? It was just very odd. I went back to my room and then the hooker came in but I wasn’t much in the mood for all that surprisingly. She was very good looking but she was definitely a phony. Once she figured I didn’t want her she got in a damn mood and left. I really just wanted some company to be honest.
