親愛的瑞德,
If you"re reading this, you"ve gotten out. And if you"ve come this far, maybe you"re willing to come a little further. You remember the name of the town, don"t you? I could use a good man to help me get my project on wheels. I"ll keep an eye out for you and the chessboard ready.
Remember, Red. Hope is a good thing, maybe the best of things, and no good thing ever dies. I will be hoping that this letter finds you, and finds you well.
