Dearest Friend

I have received your letter also a letter from my mother and she wrote me a real wonderful letter and she was very sorry about my parole. She also got your letter thanks alot. I am now back in population and I had my radio given back to me. I feel a lot better.

I had a long talk with the priest and he had a talk with Mr Gavin the Commissioner and they both were a little upset over my parole upset. But the priest said that the Commissioner can get me a reconsideration a little later depending on my good record.

Dear Friend

I received your letter and it was a very nice letter and you said some very nice things. I also received your check for $5.00 it sure was needed, now I think I can pay for the lamp. I also wrote home to my mother for some money, seeing now I am back in the population I need many things so I believe she'll help me. I also had help from the priest.

Well I hope your in good health and say hello to all for me.

I am very glad you enjoyed my last letter. I realy dont know what to say about the praise you gave me about my letter, all I can say is it made me feel good reading your letter. Some times I have a hard time writing letters Im scared of saying the wrong thing, but I always try to put all my feelings in my letters.

Im glad you said I did best by saying I was sorry to Mr Butterworth I feel deep I owed it to him.

I am doing good out in population I have a nice sun burn for I havent been in the sun for a long time. I watched T.V this afternoon. I also saw my Legal Medicine man today Mr Seckler he was hurt because of my parole action he was very proud of how I am taking it all I can say is what else can I do but take it, for I get into trouble again Ill only end up with more time no sense in that
