Thanks for writing! I finished the transcription for your post.
I can't imagine what you must be going through! I hope your condition will be treated with a little more respect, or that somebody will come through and help you out. Stay positive!
I signed in to BTB to check your blog because I haven't heard from you since early May and I've been worried. Imagine my surprise to see this letter to me! I did receive an envelope labeled #219 but it contained only a copy of your formal complaint. The letter must have somehow ended up getting mailed to BTB instead of me. Fate is a funny thing though, because it ended up reaching me anyway: )
I've been mailing you weekly letters but I have no idea if they are reaching you, or why your mail to me has stopped. Last week I sent you paper, envelopes and stamps. I heard from Crystal and she said you needed them. She sent some too, and your mom was planning to as well. I have been in touch with your mom. She's a great lady and misses you fiercely. She's been getting more mail than me, but a few of her letters have gone missing as well.
Anyway, this letter #219 written in May was the last piece of mail I received from you. I miss you and hope you are well. Please take care of yourself and know that I'm thinking of you and looking forward to your next letter so write again soon. I love you my friend!
Donny: This is William. U wrote me at SCI Frackville and shared a story with me. I told you that I was gonna write back when I got out and I did. I even sent you a few short stories but you never replied. What is up with you.
Dear Mathew: Reading your blog almost brought tears to my eyes because I have been in a similar situation. I was released from a state prison in Pennylvania a few weeks ago after serving a little over 7 years. While in prison I kept my identity secret but it was hard, so I understand. The thing is God made all of us. He created us in his image, right? So for any Christian to say that your sexual orientation is a sin then they are basically saying that God is imperfect, which He is not. God don't make mistakes and you are not a mistake. You don't need to be a part of that Christian Community. I know in prison most men clique up to have strength in numbers but God loves us all and hears our prayer whether it's one person praying or a group. I'm not sure if you are aware of an organization called Black & Pink. They have helped me through some hard times And am sure they will welcome you with open arms. Here is their address: Black & Pink, Community Church of Boston, 565 Boylston Street, Boston, MA 02116. Reemember I LOVE YOU and once I am out of this halfwayhouse I will write directly to you. Just hang in their brother. LOVE WILLIAM.

If you wake up ever morning and thank the Universe....the Universe will thank you back!
