Beschreibung:

One page, retained typed carbon, unsigned, on Bruce's South Doheny Drive letterhead. Bruce begins with reference to a Melvin Belli sexual encounter, "Please don’t fuck me around. Did that chick, the seventeen year old goddess that you asked for seconds on (so I don’t assume she gave you a dose) - She said that you said ‘Lenny doesn’t have to worry’… But you telling her that is like I would tell some chick before I come… ’Yeah, I’ll take you to Vegas with Me.’ I never played the pimp before so I have that coming but don’t do me dirty…” He later states that "I'm going to use a competent attorney but he hasn't got the strength that you have. Move the dates for the assault and the narcotics trial to somewhere between the 17th and 27th of December!..."
