Kind of an epilogue
First of all, if you’re reading this and you haven’t either read or watched (or both) all 12 episodes of the Letterboxed project, I highly recommend you stop reading, bookmark this page, and go take in all 12 episodes - in order. I know an hour is a lot of time to spend watching other people’s faces say stuff at a camera, but Letterboxed makes less sense for each episode you...

Hey Audrey –
Rubber Soul. I still got Rubber Soul. So you didn’t get them all. I brought that one over to Michelle Swanson’s house to listen to Norwegian Wood while we made out in her hot tub. So you didn’t get them all, bitch.
And Wally deserved to know. He deserved to know what happened. He’s a good man, he spent most of his life taking care of those animals… Christ, Audrey, how do you...

Hi Roberto,
Or Robérto if that’s what you prefer. I got your letter and I have to say I was really surprised that you wrote me back, partially because I know you rarely follow through on anything unless it involves mild-to-moderate vandalism and partially because I had no idea you had the use of your hands back. But hey, big thumbs up, now that you can do that again. Right? Right?!...

Hello, Audrey. Thanks for calling yourself my “sister” again. It’d been a while. Thanks, also, for suggesting I’m the “potentially crazy” one, and “horribly confused.” Pretty sure David’ll get a kick out of that one.
I wanted to address some of the concerns you seem to have about us sharing a house together, and then, if you’ll...

Dear Ted:
This is your sister Audrey. I got the letter you wrote me and I just wanted to write you back and read it aloud because I think you’re horribly, horribly confused and potentially crazy. I thought if I wrote some things out for you and let you see my response that maybe we could get some things cleared up here and we can live a lot easier in this house. I mean, sometimes, I don’t even...

Audrey,
This is the last time I am going to do this. Perhaps seeing a visual representation of who you think you are talking to will help.
The “letters” you think I am writing you are just the plain paper napkins that come with your food. You seem to have decided that I have created some sort of coded language based on the embossed patterns on them. And the way that you reuse them...

Dear Brother,
Let me first start off by telling you how much I appreciate your letters. They bring me solace…no, that’s not the right word. They bring me comfort. Knowing that you still remember me even though we are separated by a locking door (a heavy locking door thank god!) brings me a strange sense of comfort. Secondly, although I appreciate your letters (god knows it must be so hard for...

Dear Sister,
Mother wants me to tell you how relieved she is to hear from you. She also wanted me to tell you that I still can’t find your favorite potato bread anywhere, and yes, I spoke to the baked goods guy at Whole Foods, the Filipino guy with the nose ring, Ernesto. Honesto? Anyway, he still asks about you. I mean, really, he asks about you all the time. I tell him how busy you...

Dear Brother,
I’m told that you were probably never informed that I was anything other than “the black sheep carrier.” Chances are that you also failed to receive any of the letters I wrote from Isolation School. That leaves me a lot of explaining to do:
I’ve been lost to you since last December, when our security was cut to ribbons by the Health Ministry’s last...

Dear Dr. Spacecan,
Thank you for your correspondence regarding your recent and unfortunate receipt of one particularly inappropriate package from our Peachtree location in Atlanta, Georgia.
While I am deeply regretful of the oversights that led to this incident, I also want to thank you for speaking...

Dear Rev. Witherspoon,
As I’ve mentioned numerous times in the past, your secretary (Miss Trumang, the young lady with the heels and the hair and that very large bottom) makes too many mistakes to justify her employment at the Baptist Ministries.
For example, it seems Ms. Trumang mistakenly sent this carton filled with Satan’s playthings to my family’s home. Until I read your enclosed letter...

Dear Realdoll corporation,
Please find enclosed in the large shipping container one Audrey A4, one Wally B6, one Ramon B7 and one Lucy A12 which I am returning as part of the government-mandated recall enacted this March 28th.
Shame on you for foisting these dangerous and ill-conceived products on an unsuspecting public. This Ramon doll isn’t even life-sized! And those labia you sent...
