To Stella from Missouri

Love letter found on a remote rugged coastal trail (San Francisco)

This unsigned letter (or unfinished draft) was on the first page of a large black-cover sketch-book with all other pages white. Found it under a tree, facing the ocean, near Point Lobos / Lands End. It was wet from yesterday's rain. Hope they find each other.

The author of the letter stumbled on my photo on the internet and contacted me on Feb 13 2011. His name is Keith Steimle aka "Toast", and he asked if I had hear of Stella (no, I have not heard of her yet).
