Patricia and John are enjoying what should be a relaxing, late weekend morning on the sofa in Bill Blush’s “The Letter.” That is until John reads an obit about an old friend she grew up with—Jimmy. While recounting the many kid moments she and Jimmy spent together she remembers...the letter! Where is it? What did she do with it? Finding it is a journey through Patricia’s teenage years and a friendship that was never forgotten.
