dear justin vernon (letter 3),

at 7:39 this morning, i received a phone call from mount clemens, michigan.  it was an unrecognized number.  i of course didn't answer, because it was 7:39 in the morning, and because it was an unrecognized number, and i figured if it was someone professional, they wouldn't want to hear my "just woke up what can i do for you?" voice, and if it was a friend, they would leave a message.  and then i realized--oh my gosh YOU are from michigan.  i dream about you calling to tell me you would like to make a soundtrack for my life.  then, of course, i remembered you're actually from wisconsin, not michigan.  all those central states.  alas.

awaiting,
carolyn
