I believe this used to be linked to, has been transcribed and quoted here a few times in part.
That said, the links are long gone and having found it all on an old HD, thought some might appreciate seeing it.
Thank yous first:
Robert Mackie for compiling and sharing his booklet.
Stephane for acquiring a copy.
Aly / ThisCharmlessGirl for scanning Stephane's copy and hosting it on the much missed: Morrissey Scans site.
Her description back in 2011:
"The following letters were written by pre-Smiths Morrissey, circa 1980/81, to his Scottish pen pal, Robert Mackie.
After Morrissey’s ascent to fame, Mackie photocopied a selection of the received correspondence into a small booklet, made available to fans at the time for the cost of postage.
Eternal thanks goes out to Stephane of Passions Just Like Mine for sending me a hard copy of the booklet. "
