The Bixby Letter

[Gene C]

I have no idea if he wrote the Suicide Soliloqoy or not, but if he did, I wouldn't be surprised.
This is a style of melodramatic poetry that Linclon read and seemed to enjoy. He and Mary read a lot of this stuff, and he had a creative mind.
I'm not a psychiatrist, but it is interesting to note the author gives no reason for his feelings...broken heart, financial problems, lonliness, no friends, death of a loved one
We know he suffered from depression, and it must have been severe at times.
Even though he did not have a good formal education, he was knowledeable and capable of this quality of writing. (I have to look it up to spell soliloqoy)
