Mayor McGinn,

Below are two quotes spoken by Mr. Cobain both within only months of the date of his "suicide".
Following them, is another quote that was written at the bottom of Cobain's "suicide note", these lines were the ONLY lines of the note in which handwriting experts declared were written by another individual.


"The thought of losing my baby haunts me every day. I'm even a bit unnerved to take her in the car in fear of getting into an accident. I swear that if I ever find myself in a similar situation than you've been in, i.e. a divorce, then I will fight to my death to keep the right to provide for my child. I'll go out of my way to remind her that I love her more than I love myself. Not because it's a father's duty, but because I want to out of love. And if Courtney and I end up hating each other's guts we will be adult and responsible enough to be pleasant to one another when our child is around."

Kurt Cobain to his father-- 1992

"Don't expect me to complain about how damn hard it is, I love every minute. I'm the happiest I've been in my life!"

Kurt Cobain on fatherhood -- Nov 1993


"Please keep going, Courtney. For Frances who will be so much happier without me in her life. I love you I love you."

Kurt Cobain's suicide note, April 1994


The top quote, is a journal entry Cobain wrote to his own father about the pain he caused him from his abandonment. The bottom quote from the "suicide" note that was addressed to his daughter:

"For Frances who will be so much happier without me in her life."

This quote completely contradicts his pattern of thoughts and feelings. This quote was NOT his, and it needs to be addressed.

Please do what's right. Thank you.

Sincerely,
