Dear friend Miriam Your was received which found me in good spirit which I try too stay in unless I feel otherwise but I'm trying to watch my weight just stay around 220 that enough weight for me, at my yung age smile),
You know I wish the Parole Board would feel as you do, if so then I know I wouldn'thave nothing too wary about, but under the circumstances I have too take the bitter with the sweet sota speak, but I still feel that they will give me a chance I will just wait & see what happen I can only wait & see

Dear Friend Miriam Recieved your letter & was real Please to know that you trust me I cant see why you don't because you know everything about me that Possible how ever I have nothing too hide that you must also know by now that I am frank, when I write I have too be. I have found out this is the best way, because if I lied too you then you could figure that out. Yes I will write Rhoda tonight or tomorrow & explain too her how too get up here okay!!! Yes I will be happy too see her, the last time I saw here was in Norfolk!! almost three years ago, I dont think that she will have a hard time finding that place I will explain too her how to come up.
Speaking of having a nice record you are right but the Parole think otherwise, but as I have said I do believe that they will give me a parole. Sometime this year if not then I will finsh up next September. You know I will be very happy once I am free but all I have too do now is too sit back and continue too do my best regardless, I thought the weather would be beautiful today but the camp sit right by the pond & the wind makes it real cold at times

Dear Dr. Van Waters
Just a short note to thank you for your help and advice. I am now at the Forestry Camp at South Carver and I'm hopeful things will be much brighter now, especially for my family.
Perhaps, one day, after I have mended my ways, I may be in a position to lead another drive in behalf of Muscular Dystrophy. I should like this to be. You can't imagine how much personal satisfaction I derived from that last campaign, knowing that in some small way I helped a little innocent victim.
With my warmest regards for you and all those wonderful people of your Chapter, I remain.
Sincerely yours,
