Talons and Tea-Leaves

In the top lefthand corner is a small, almost absentminded-looking doodle of a tree.

Jackson, my brother -

I'm hoping that writing this to you will help in breaking the code of silence. Because I realized I quite simply don't think you want to lose my contact. This new place...a little strange, big brother. It's hard to imagine, I know, but it's what "they" wanted. I'm hoping by saying all that I think, my need to see you will get to be less. Put your hands together and say a prayer. That CD that's full of pictures and songs I made for you--get Michael to see if he'll help you get it. Can you just do something about that? It isn't for you or me, but if I knew it would come to be safe, I ever would be so happy. I'm grateful you and I still have hope, Jackson. If you're up to feeling happy, you'd better see that I remembered to love all over you. Send my love to Skylar.

-Talon.
