Money Problem. Throughout it all, Rusty Calley remained ensconced at 31-D Arrowhead Road; Calley, his secretary, Mrs. Shirley Sewell, and his girl friend, Anne Moore, invested in a $35 automatic letter opener to try to keep up with the mail, which peaked at 10,000 pieces in one day and is still coming in at the rate of 2,000 letters a day. They have yet to find a hostile message. Florists' vans turn up daily with bouquets of roses or carnations, and the neighbors bring gifts of food. Since Calley is still considered an officer, his MP guards call him "sir." His most urgent problem is money; the fan mail has brought in only $3,000 for his defense fund. He has only received about $15,000 of his share of a $100,000 advance from Viking Press for Lieutenant Calley, an expansion of his Esquire "confessions" to Writer John Sack that is to be published in September. But the expenses of his defense have been substantial, and at the moment he is trying to find $700 to pay the Army for quarters occupied by his lawyers during the court-martial.
