"Jack" within the text, 3pp. 6" x 4", [In jail in Dallas, ca. 1964] in pencil. In part: "…About a week before the tragic happening, I left the Carousel Club…to M.C. the show [at] the Vegas…I usually have to rush to be certain to get to the club so I can put the show on at 2:00 A.M….as I had always done [I] had the pistol in my right hand pocket. One of the fellows drinking beer…made a remark, such as, Jack, do you have your pistol with you, and I didn't answer him and dashed right into the Club. Later on while the show was going I ran from the floor to the front door to tell the same fellow off, because he was causing a disturbance…I had to tell him, I'm not going to put up with his foolishness and that I mean business…". First page has a corner missing costing the loss of three or four words, else very good.
