I found this interesting and heartfelt letter today, it must have fallen out of Dill's pocket or somethin'. I found it to be very sweet and surprising, as I didn't know that he felt this passionately about me. He was so descriptive and cute, and i just adored it. The way he talked about me made me feel all warm and fuzzy inside. I almost feel bad though, knowing that the letter will not go to his mother, I also feel deviant about having the letter in my possession in the first place. Anyways, here's how it went:
"Dear Ma,
Summer down here in Maycomb has been real grand, Aunt Rachel has been treatin' me real swell, I don't spend much time with her though 'cause I been hangin' out with her neighbors, Jean Louise and Jeremy Atticus Finch. Jean Louise goes by Scout, and Jeremy goes by Jem. Those two people have made my stay here in Maycomb very excitin', 'specially Scout.
Jean Louise Finch is just 'bout the most beautiful girl I've ever laid eyes upon. The way her dreamy blue eyes sparkle in the moonlight is just somethin' else. Her deep walnut brown hair flows majestically in the gusty wind. It's a bowl cut that is so delicious, I just want to put a spoon in it and eat everything that's inside. She is a tall young women, right now she's taller than me, but I'll catch her eventually. Her fair smooth skin is as plush as a baby's bottom. Scout is a beautiful girl, but it's her personality that attracts me the most.
Jean Louise is a very intelligent young lady. On her very first day o' first grade, she was smarter than half of the third grade. This made her teacher real mad 'cause her teacher said she was too young to be readin' and writin'. Her dad, Atticus, taught her everythin' she knows 'bout readin'. If you gave Scout the newspaper, I bet she'd read it to you without no problems. As for the writin', that was Calpurnia's doin', their maid. Who would've thought a negro would be the one to teach her to write? Jean Louise is an amazing girl I tell you, but I'm not done yet.
I haven't even gotten to my favorite part about ol' Scout. She is a straight up tomboy. She's not afraid to do all the things me and her brother, Jem, want to do. She just joins right in, so you can have lots o' fun with Scout. If she has to, she's not afraid to rub a boy's nose in the dirt, literally... poor Walter Cunningham. When I get out of line, she knocks me right back in, so you don't have to worry, Ma. I love everythin' 'bout her Ma; that's why I asked her to marry me.
Ma, I love Scout. I love her personality and her looks. I have become so obsessed with her; that's why I had to write to you. Don't worry though, Ma, I still love you more. I miss you so much and wish you could come spend a couple days down here in Maycomb. If you did that, you could see for yourself how amazin' Scout is. I hope everythin' is goin' well back home.
Love, Dill
