I once wrote a letter to Salinger through his agent's address, I knew full well that I would not get a reply. The main reason I did this was to least I tried to contact one of the 20th centuries great writers and maybe a dim glimmer of hope that I would get something back. I do find it almost impossible to see JD sorting through hundreds of letters a day just for his own personal satisfaction. P.S. Did he really destroy all of his letters and why was he in court. Casey
