Ted harassed and dominated Dave. Mother constantly heaped insults which were not mistakes of attempted discipline. His mother never apologized for her behavior. Ted was infatuated with a Radcliffe girl and wanted moral support from his parents, but they only thought there was something wrong with him. They (parents) made him psychologically self-reliant. Blames not only parents but two teachers for all his problems. He had no social skills and was out of place at Harvard. He wanted desperately to find a girlfriend or wife.
T-92 10 7/20/91 K-480 H NO Ted BEGS Dave for help ... a matter of life and death. Ted wants some money (approximately $7700) that his mother put aside for his medical expenses. Ted can't get help from welfare because of this money. Ted won't beg mother for money. He is going to cut all his ties with "stinking" family.

T-117 6 UNK. K-519 HW NO Ted writes to Dave and discusses his "vision of the world;" his personal failings and how he is ready to "apply strongly negative value-judgements to the failings I see in others..;" argues with Dave re: "precise and careful thinking" in relation to implying some particular view of the world when Ted believes that it does not. Ted tells Dave he is indulging "in a naughty grin" as he writes this. Ted does not feel the need for closeness/communion as Dave does because he (Ted) is "more psychologically self-sufficient and, so to speak, self-contained." Ted is "irritated" by Dave's interpretation of his previous letter; he discusses faith, Catholic doctrine and the difficulty in arguing w/a person who uses faith or you "don't understand" as a basis of argument. Ted believes that leaves nothing to argue against.

Ted says he doesn't believe Dave and Linda Erikson were involved in a purely platonic relationship; discusses Dave's self-deception re: taking up teaching "under the illusion that you were going to change the lives of many students simply by expounding your ideas." Ted states through art and philosophy Dave tries to maintain an "illusion of being superior to the common herd." Ted remarks to Dave that he (Ted) has a "marked tendency to devalue social relationships - to consider them unimportant." Ted says he "has no respect for the law or morality;" he hasn't committed a felony, but not for lack of motive because he does have a "good deal of anger"in him. Ted continues discussing committing a felony. He states "Risk? In some cases, yes. But there are other cases in which I can figure out ways of doing naughty things so that the risk would be insignificant." Ted relates he wanted to give Ellen T. a "really vicious beating." Ted tells Dave he had a case of big-brother worship into his twenties.

T-120 10 UNK. K-521 HW NO Ted explains to Dave the difference between "analytical thinking" and science. He says he is distracted when Ma sends him magazines because he thinks too much time thinking about the articles and cannot "hear and see the forest." Ted discusses Ellen and his relationship w/Dave regarding the incident involving Ellen. Ted states he "deeply resents our parents" and does not respect anyone in Dave's circle of friends. Further in the letter, Ted discusses a dream he had in which Dave was being duped by characters who represented people of influence in Dave's life: Dale Edwards, Heideggar, Linda Patrik and Denis DuBois. The dream took place at the Evergreen Park residence; parents were vaguely in the background; Dave had fallen under the influence of a "crackpot cult-group." Ted states he protects Dave by confronting and killing three cult members who entered the home. Ted states he killed the last member by "tearing him to pieces with my bare hands." Ted states another character, Lord Daddy Lombrosis, may be God. At first the individual appears as..." a short, fat, middleage man with a jolly smiling face." Lombrosis becomes a "tall, well-built, handsome man,..." Ted indicates he is awed by him and thinks "this is God. Yet in my heart I defied him." Ted says the man wanted to "do us good, be kind to us, but the price he demanded was submission."

The article, entitled The Littering Ape, focuses on the theme observed in books written in the Naked ..Ape, genre. Ted writes man needs to litter in order to mark his territory, much like an animal. His solution to littering is to provide a post on which to hang the trash where it can be openly displayed. Since this is an instinctual problem, Ted believes the post is the clear solution, which is analogous to the "scent posts" of animals.
T-123 24 ?/?/65 T NO A paper Ted has written entitled, Boundary Functions for Functions Defined in a Disk, communicated by F. Bagemihl, Journal of Math and Mechanics, Vol. 14, No. 4 (1965), p. s. 589-612.

T-132 4 UNK. T NO Under the pseudonym Apios Tuberosa, Ted writes a short story entitled, How I Blew Up Harold Snilly... The story focuses on Ted and another student, Harold Snilly. Snilly combines red phosphorus and potassium chlorate, not listening to Ted's warning that the chemicals are highly sensitive, and almost impossible to work with. Snilly's impromptu experiment goes awry, burning his hands. This results in Snillys' expulsion from the class, Ted's expulsion from lab for 2 weeks, and Ted receiving an end of the year award as the best science student in his high school.
