Dear Nelly,
                  Truly I was lucky once again when the misbehavior reports were dismissed due to an error on the part of the administration. I hope this is a sign of good things to come in January/ 2014.
                   I really can't believe that I put myself in a position to get those reports when I've been trying so hard to watch my behavior, but someone has definitely been watching over me.
                   I spoke to David and Linda and they told me they found some things I wrote them years ago. Once they send the material to me I will send you the material so you can see my thoughts from then and until now.
                    I wasn't sure, but I had thought you were going to move to Manhattan and not keep your house in Rocky Point? I know it is a long commute, but is it worth it going from the city to Rocky Point?
                    I'm going to put together a collage of flowers for your office wall. I know you like flowers so I'll think of something. Even though I got past these misbehavior reports I'm still going to check into getting extensive therapy for it can't hurt and may just help me as a person and for the parole board.
                     I had told you that I begin doing some college studies with Mr. Thieben and Father Frank? I just want to do things to keep me busy, especially things that will help me in the long run. I'm also doing some algebra that a teacher here has been sending me.
                      Eventually, I will get a new TV and they cost $149 for a 13 inch flat screen color TV. I'll ask three or four different people to send me $30-$40. That isn't important right now. Have you found any time to snap some pictures? I know there are a lot of interesting sites in the city to take pictures of.
                       I do like self-help books and I try to take as much possible from each one that I read, but some just seem like the author was interested in making money. I like reading novels as well, especially if it is a good story. It is all about utilizing time and doing things that pass the days away. A good book does just that.
                        Whether they send me to a less secure prison I'm not, I don't know, but I will continue with a positive frame of mind for I know how important my freedom is.
                          Well, I just wanted to write you a short letter hoping all is well with you and until the next time, take very good care.
