Here's a strange, sad letter that science fiction writer
Philip K. Dick wrote two and a half weeks before he
died:

NBC ran a feature on Mickey Spillane, and PKD was inspired by
seeing that Spillane lived unglamorously and still used a
manual typewriter. PKD and Spillane make a very odd pair, but
it's a touching letter, especially if you know about PKD's
bizarre last decade.
