I was reading your
          letter and wondering what middle aged cranky beatle fan it was who
          wrote it. I resisted looking at the the last page to find out. I kept
          thinking who it was, Queenie? Stuart's mother? Clive Epstein's wife?
          Alan Williams? What the hell, its Linda!
          
You really think the
          press are beneath me-you? do you think that? WHo do you think we-you
          are? The self indulgent bit, doesn't realize who he's hurting. I hope
          you realize what sh-t you and the rest of my kind and unselfish
          friends laid on Yoko and me since we have been together. It might have
          sometimes been a bit more subtle or should I say middle class, but not
          often. We both "rose above it" quite a few times and forgave
          you two, so its the least you can do for us, you noble people. Linda,
          If you don't care what I say, shutup! Let Paul write or whatever.
          
When asked about what I
          thought orginially concerning US.B.C etc., I told them as best as I
          can remember, and I do remember squirming a little, don't you Paul, or
          do you, as I suspect still believe it all? I'll forgive you Paul for
          encouraging the Beatles, if he forgives me for same, for being honest
          with me and caring too much. F-cking hell Linda you're not writing for
          Beatle Book!!!
          
I'm not ashamed of the
          Beatles, but of some of the sh-t we took to make them so big. it
          thought we all felt that way in varying degrees, obviously not.
          
Do you really think most
          of today's art came about because of the Beatles? I don't believe
          you're that insane. Paul, do you believe that? When you stop believing
          it you might wake up! Didn't we always say we were part of the
          movement, not all of it? Of coarse we changed the world, but try and
          follow through, get off your gold disc and fly!
          
Don't give me that Aunty
          Gin Sh-t about "in five years I'll look back as a different
          person," don't you see thats whats happening NOW. IF I only new
          THEN what I know NOW, you seemed to have missed that point.
          
Excuse me if I use
          "Beatle Space" to talk about whatever I want, obviously if
          they keep asking Beatle questions, I'll answer them and get as much
          John & Yoko Space as I can, they ask me about Paul and I answer. I
          know some of it gets personal, but whether you believe it or not, I
          try and answer straight, and the bits they use are obviously the juicy
          bits. I don't resent your husband. I'm sorry for him. I know the
          Beatles are "quite nice people," I'm one of them, they're
          also just as big bastards as anyone else. so get off your high horse!
          
Finally about not
          telling anyone I'd left Beatles, PAUL and Klein both spent the day
          persuading me it was better not to say anything, asking me not say
          anything because it would hurt the "Beatles" and "lets
          just let it petre out" remember? so get that in your petty little
          perversion of a mind Mrs. McCartney, the c-nt asked me to keep quiet
          about it. Of coarse, the money angle is important, to all of us,
          especially after all the petty sh-t that came from your insane family
          and God help you out Paul, see you in two years, I reckon you'll be
          out then inspite of it all.
          
love to you both
          from us two
