It didn't work

I had a plan to get a Salinger autograph. I sent an restricted certified letter to
his address. Certified letter have to be signed. Restricted certified have to be
signed for by the addressee. Cost me $2.40 in postage. Anyway, he refused it. That's
what I expected, so I wasn't too upset.
But I got to thinking. Who alive would not be a least curious enough to sign for
a personal certified letter? when I get those yellow slips in mail that's all I can
think about until I can go pick it up. It's an event. So - even thought Salinger
and I are both more or less hermits, we apparently are also very different in many
ways.
oh, all the letter said was "this is an attempt at getting an autograph. If it worked,
thank you".
