ALL THE CABBIE HAD WAS A LETTER Foster Furcolo He must have been completely lost in something he was reading because I had to tap on the windshield to get his attenti
4、on. “Is your cab available?“ I asked when he finally looked up at me. He nodded, then said apologetically as I settled into the back seat, “Im sorry, but I was reading a letter.“ He sounded as if he had a cold or something. “Im in no hurry,“ I told him. “Go ahead and finish your letter.“ He shook hi
5、s head. “Ive read it several times already. I guess I almost know it by heart.“ “Letters from home always mean a lot,“ I said. “At least they do with me because Im on the road so much.“ Then, estimating that he was 60 or 70 years old, I guessed: “From a child or maybe a grandchild?“,“This isnt famil
6、y,“ he replied. “Although,“ he went on, “come to think of it“, it might just as well have been family. Old Ed was my oldest friend. In fact, we used to call each other Old Friend when wed meet, that is. Im not much of a hand at writing.“ “I dont think any of us keep up our correspondence too well,“

He was a great guy.“ “You said
9、 was. Does that mean ?“,Back,He nodded. “Died a couple of weeks ago.“ “Im sorry,“ I said. “Its no fun to lose any friend and losing a real old one is even tougher.“ He didnt reply to that, and we rode on in silence for a few minutes. But I realized that Old Ed was still on his mind when he spoke aga

Yes,“ he repeated, “I should have kept in touch.“ “Well,“ I agreed, “we should all keep in touch with old friends more than we do. But things come up and we just dont seem to find the time.“ He shrugged. “We used to find the time,“
11、 he said. “Thats even mentioned in the letter.“ He handed it over to me. “Take a look.“ “Thanks,“ I said, “but I dont want to read your mail. Thats pretty personal.“,Back,The driver shrugged. “Old Eds dead. Theres nothing personal now. Go ahead,“ he urged me. The letter was written in pencil. It beg
