My name is Joe and I just wanted to say hi and let you know that I will be transcribing your posts into typed text from the scans of your letters here on behindthebars.com.
The conversions will be exact with just a few exceptions. Those being where line breaks shift when the text is put online and other things related to posting online. However, everything else will be word for word including the spelling as you wrote it. For your handwritten posts, I will do my best to convert them accurately as well.
Stay safe and I will drop you a line when I have more of your writing transcribed.
WELL IT SOUNDS AS THOUGH YOU DONT HAVE THE ENTIRE STORY EITHER. This little caption below can be found in the law library,online in the Springfield union news archives. In fact, loads of other evidence can also be found in the public court documents/transcripts that are found online just type in Francis Soffen and you will be able to read away. I'm sorry about your Uncle but the truth is the truth. These men ran together, did the same crimes together and some of them did not make it out alive.
This was taken from transcripts: (Soffen was charged with the three armed robberies in March of 1972. Among his co-defendants were Gary Dube, Steven Perrot, Robert Neilson, Louis Swenor, and Edward Uschman.)
