A typed letter, 'Dear Kirk', proposing 'Lets you and I go to Wounded Knee.', asking about a tape recorder and distance, noting 'No wine on the way up.', and saying 'it is to beautiful to innore', signed 'Love Jack'.

The letter treats the trip as both protest and documentation; it is the writer's plan, not a record of what happened.
