"SUCH A LITTLE THING MAKES SUCH A BIG DIFFERENCE" During the Colorado Springs gig I got the chance to give Morrissey a book of my Art and Poetry (if you look in the archives of that show you will see my whole story) but I gave my book to him at the concert and at the end of the book I said-"If lost please return to owner", then I put my address on there. Well just two days ago I got a package in the mail... :) I am like oh what the hell could this be? I looked at the brown bubbled enveloped package and saw that my name and address were written with back permanent marker-well I tore the very corner...peaked inside and saw it was my book I gave to Morrissey it was easy to recognize due to the rainbow colored pages...I looked at it-then FREAKED out!!! I literally started screaming, jumping up and down and I couldn't bear to open it and my parents are freaking out cuz they are like, "WHAT IS IT?" Then I am like trying to choke out the words but all that came out was "Book........Morrissey" finally I said: "My book I gave to Morrissey" THEN my parents are like..."ooooh" So my Dad grabbed it from me and opened it to see if he left a note or wrote in the book... but alas no note, nothing written in it... BUT... The Envelope okay-the postmark is from Los Angeles- There was no return address on it and the best---- My name and address are written in Morrissey's writing!!! (pictures of the envelope and my book can be found here, under the "pictures" link) I am damn sure Morrissey wrote on the front....I have the Morrissey font on my computer and I typed out what it would look like if he wrote it and it looks damn close to what is written on the package...but permanent black marker does tend to smooth out the jagged edges a person would leave....so I think it may have smoothed out his writing but alas...Morrissey sent me my precious journal/book of art and poetry....Thank you Morrissey for returning it and I hope he got a chance to read what was inside. I dunno it made my whole year that he did that. He is truly a sincere and down to Earth kinda guy. To quote him: "Such a little thing A gentle tone of kindness Or written words on paper - can you write ?" I thought it was amazing he took the time to mail it back to me because that book was dear to me yet I wanted some of the things inside for him to read....plus my address and stuff was waaaay at the end of the book so he would of had to of flipped through the pages. Thats my story and I rest my case that Morrissey has to be the kindest man on the planet...he truly cares about his fans!!:)

I am personally thrilled for you. How mysterious, though! Do not allow bitter queens and ugly persons to ruin your joy today or any other day, for that matter.
Personally, I am jealous at this point! What is the book about???
Sincerely,
KEN

Postman Pat Rules The Day! (Score:1)
The poor man only had two options if The Smiths had folded: to become a forklift driver in a warehouse in Accrington; or don the navy overall and the shoulder bag and deliver post for the Royal Mail in Wythenshaw.
Glad to see he still has a good memory, an eye for detail, and legible handwriting!

The writing on the yellow package is not, OR its his true handwriting.
Those who have copies of the pen-pal letters he wrote will note that while almost every letter in there is written with the child-like lettering, there is one penned "normally"
I think though that someone used the pink piece to fill out the envelope for him. Just an opinion but the bottom line is that he did return the book and the owner does have that pink sheet which I feel confident in saying is from him.

It really did make my year though-even if maybe by chance its not his writing….just the fact that he took the time to have it mailed back was very kind of him. Morrissey is really a great guy at heart, not only in his lyrics does it show through, well not counting the old Smith lyrics that are witty and cruel in some instances….but overall his actions really prove he is kind at heart and probably very realistic like he said on Craig Kilborne. I submitted the story out of my own personal glee of which I would like to thank David T. for posting it….he does a wonderful job on this site-plus he is also a nice guy as well. But I posted this out of personal happiness and also to once more prove how nice of a guy he is. But yeah-thanks to all the people who posted nice things about this story….it means a lot to me…
Thanks!!!:)
