Dear Mr. Huntleigh,

Hello Shep. My Sister, Stella, and I are in a bit of a situation. Her husband is accusing me of all sorts of lies! Can you believe that? I was hoping you could help us get out of this place. Well, I was hoping you could help Stella out, you know I can go back to Laurel anytime I want to. Stella needs to get away from Stanley, her husband, but she doesn’t believe it.

Sister’s husband, Stanley, He’s been telling lies about me. He said I sold Belle Reve! I wish I had, then I’d have some money, but no, Belle Reve was lost. Stanley said I stayed at The Flamingo, My My My I never stayed at The Flamingo. I wouldn’t dare go near that place, it’s known for being trashy, you know. I stayed at The Tarantula. Well, Stanley is full of lies.

Stanley even hits my Sister! Stella says it’s just because he’s “drunk” but that isn’t any reason. At a Poker game recently he hit her because he was mad. I was shocked that she even went back to him! “He didn’t mean it” she said. Oh he meant it! She says he’s done it before and “didn’t mean it”. I’m sure he’s meant it then too. Stanleys abusive to my Sister.

Oh Shep, please help us! Stella needs to get out of this horrible place! She needs to get away from that horrible man! I can’t believe she married him. He’s abusive towards her. This place is nothing like Belle Reve in Laurel, it’s a dump. Two rooms, can you believe that? And she says she likes it. Stella needs better, Stella deserves better. So, Shep, will you help us? Please.

Love,

Ms. Blanche DuBois.

Dear Dr. Looney

My name is Stella Kowalski. I’d like to have my Sister, Blanche DuBois, committed. She seems to have gone crazy. She’s lying about my husband and about her whole life. I’d rather her not be committed but I feel it’s necessary. Yes…I think I want her committed.

Blanche has been lying about everything. I think she’s in her own little make believe world. She denied everything my husband said about her, but I found out it was true. Like her lying about taking a leave of absence from teaching. She was fired for messing around with a young boy. She thinks she’s still a young girl, and she’s not. Blanche has even lied about my husband! She said Stanley raped her, he wouldn’t do something like that.

Blanche has been trying to get me away from my husband. I think she’s jealous because her husband had killed himself years ago. She found out he didn’t really love her and confronted him. It’s a long story and it’s not important to my reasoning. She’s denied his findings and said he raped her as I said before. She needs to be committed, even I don’t want her to be.

I love my sister, Blanche, don’t get me wrong. I don’t want her committed, but she needs to be. My sister is crazy, Dr. Looney. She’s not fully here, and she needs to be committed. She needs the help or I wouldn’t be writing you. Blanche really needs the help, so if you can, please help my sister.

Thank you,

Mrs. Stella Kowalski
