Well, it didn’t take long to get the actual quote (see Fred Nolan’s request from yesterday’s post):

Rascoe wrote. "The one known authentic photograph of him shows him to be a nondescript, adenoidal, weasel-eyed, narrow-chested, stoop-shouldered, repulsive-looking creature with all the outward appearance of a cretin." This is in his Belle Starr, The Bandit Queen", 1941, Random House. By the way, did you know I corresponded with Rascoe back in 1954? When I was in kindergarten?”
