Dear Dar Van Waters,
Please forgive me for not answering
your letter sooner but I
have not felt to much in the
mood for writing.

I am still locked up & I dont
know when I'll be getting out.
Sometimes I have written to
Mr Butterworth in the hope I
would be able to see him but
I never get an answer.

You tell me not to lose faith
in people. Well I am left with
no choice. Yes I caused a commotion
because I became frightened & ran
but am I suppose to be locked
up for weeks or months because
I became frightened? I was
made to do 15 days on the boards &
