More Letters From a Nut (4 page)

Dear Post Office,

I will be traveling to Denton and staying for 3,922 days. Every day I will have a stuffed potato sent to me. Early in the week I will have a bacon and cheese stuffed potato sent to me. Then later in the week I will have a guacamole stuffed potato sent. Some of these potatoes may smell. Especially if I don’t pick up my mail for a few months. I will deodorize the box.

I look forward to renting a post office box from you. Do you have refrigerated post office boxes? Please let me know what I need to rent this box for the duration of my stay.

Sincerely,

Ted L. Nancy

Dear Reservations:

I wish to dine in your restaurant on the evening of Sunday, Sept 29, 1996. I have a situation which I must address.

I travel with my own waiter. I have found this waiter to be the best for me in serving me my food. He has been with me for many years. He brings me my soup hot and my salad with just the right amount of dressing. (Vinaigrette).

My waiter will not interfere with your staff. He will work with them to give me the best service available. I will leave my waiter a gratuity.

I have heard L’Orangerie goes out of it’s way for it’s diners. Especially those that bring their own waiter.

My party will be a large one and having my own waiter will insure that service is impeccable. Please contact me so that we may make arrangements for the Sept 29, 1996 dinner. Thank you very much. I look forward to hearing from you soon.

Sincerely,

Ted L. Nancy
