Dear Robert,
we read a lot of the stories about you and saw some of the pictures too. We were deeply fascinated by your story, you seem like such a mischevious person. We are troublemakers ourselves! We wish we could meet you, but you live so far away. Maybe some time we will take a vacation and visit you, you seem like you would be an interesting person to meet. We wish you luck on your adventures, and hope you can keep the museum under control, we know you are their favorite.
Hope to meet you soon,

Robert The Doll
- Robert the Doll
- Fort East Martello Museum, Key West, Florida, United States
- Made in 1904 as the life size effigy of the 4 yr old son of the Otto family in Key West. Stuffed with straw and meticulously hand sewn by a family servant, the doll was given to Robert Gene Otto as present. Upon receiving the doll, the boy gave the doll his first name “Robert” and from that day forward he would only answer to the name “Gene". Often they were seen playing together & overheard having conversations with one another, with Robert the Doll answering him back. When strange events started to happen Gene would swiftly respond by saying ”Robert Did It!” As Gene grew older he kept Robert by his side, building Robert his own room. Gene would place him in the third floor turret room window to keep him company while he painted. Robert rapidly became the topic of stories of the neighborhood children who would play on the streets below. With Gene dedicating so much of his time to his doll, Robert was repeatedly the focus of many a quarrels within Gene's marriage. Over the years Robert quickly became Key West's original blame doll. Whenever anything would come about, you could hear Gene and others say Robert Did It!

Dear Robert,
We visited you Thursday night..and within the next few days, i wrote a post to you that I now fesr offended you..because i have stepped on glass out of nowhere, broke out with a very bad mystery rash on my leg and have been very sick for no apparent reason--then i realized my post may have upset or offended you, or my new husband did because he didn't follow the rules and say hello on our visit. I am sorry if we offended you, will you please take your curse off of me--yes, i know you are for real and i apologize for offending you!! Thank you, Robert, sincerly-J.S.K.
