Letter# 15 Continued "Origin of the Nickname Wick"

( love 2 U 2 )  
                                                                      

" Oh yes, F. B. , you ask 'bout the origin of the nickname you say so nice ...It was applied in school as Wicked Will. That was my senior year so it stuck,  as the last one always does. It was caused by my kidding other team members (basketball) with the first part... of their name.
 There's lots I wanna know 'bout you and your letters do a pretty good job of giving  me the dope..."

"Well, honeybee, take care of things - let the cat out at nite - and lemme know what's new with you. ...
So goodbye now,
Love
Wick"

I'm always so intrigued by these. THis period in history is so rich with stories.
