This is a screenshot I took from “just a guy” of one of the more clearer, full letters that belong to Eva O, the former girlfriend of the nightstalker. I like posting her letters b/c they’re very personal and interesting.
It says:
“Eva, how come you want to see my hands ? I have no camera. Do you believe in voodoo ? So I had your picture and then it was gone. So would you send another one. I will give you anything, anything you desire. Have you played the lottery ? Have you received my letters ? New York is alright. Coney Island is great, Minnesota is cold, Chicago is windy, Arizona is hot. Acid, yes I took LSD lots of times, love the shit. Do you take it ? It made my mind race. Made my body feel tight. This is my room, I stay in this fucking room too long. If you ask me and if you don’t ask me, well, I’m telling you ayuh. When’s your birthday ? In Jan ? 23rd ? I think so right but I forgot. It’s nighttime, I’m so sick, all these asshole pigs (continue ?) to look at me. Can you (imagine ?) what it’s like to be (watched ?) every 15 minutes for (???) day + night. Not that they write down (everything I’m doing ?) like sleeping and if like (???) (fuckers ?)

In loving memory of Elvis (January 8, 1935 - August 16, 1977)
I don’t admire nobody, but Elvis Presley was the sweetest, most humble and nicest man you’d want to know.
Singing ability, he had everything and he was pretty, I know. And when it comes to boxing, nobody has the class, the style, the wit, the speed and beauty of Ali. When it comes to singing, nobody had everything like Elvis. And the last thing, he did lot for poor people, he cared for people, he had a good heart, he just wasn’t a person who was great with talent but great in spirit and with God in his heart, and this is great too. (…) I don’t have to say what I don’t feel, I’m not false I don’t have to say this. I’m free. He to me is one of the greatest singers, actors and all round men of all time.
