| Summary: | He mentions his completion of 15 years in prison by next April - "Yes, fifteen years is a dreadful long time sure enough, but the slow going days & hours of it never seemed to drag along as slowly as now. How I am longing for it to end!". He mentions the restrictions on his correspondence [he was allowed one letter out every 3 months]. Various friends are mentioned and he discusses disappointments over the Amnesty movement, urging Jordan not to blame people who have done their best. |
