Hello Joseph, This is Dana. You wrote me last post mark December 27, 1994. I wanted to take moment to thank you for the engraved Biblical books you sent me. i wanted to thank you for the books of study you sent as well.
I hope this finds you in good health. You most be about 71 years old now from what I can figure.
I wanted to let you know you are still in my prayers. You were a blessing during a rough patch in my life. Again Thank you. Dana
I don't know about all that what I do know is some facts and They kind of point to you buddy I seen a lot of things that when I sat back and looked at it looks awfully funny now If we are all mistaken I apologize but I think that the proof is in the pudding II know that drugs do things to people the day don't realize it Dave dead and one is the pieces of DNA the day say was at the crime scene of Amanda was my dog's hair rocky the white dog that's why when they came to my house and took all kinds of DNA in forensics that's with the matched up to the crime scene as well as they say that they have your DNA at the scene in riverside only you know what really happened and God forbid if you're incarcerated for something that you did not do But there's just a lot of things That don't add up and things I seen that do add up with that being said I never use me in court because I good for the case They said I was sticking up for you it wasn't that I was sticking up for you it was the fact that things did not add up in many many ways Serve you have another story why don't you break it down the tear your side buddy
Dear Jack, Merry Christmas! It's the 20th as I write this, the first day of Yuletide (Pagan winter holiday), but it might be Christmas by the time you get it! Let me know how your Christmas went! I haven't been studying for my GED recently. I keep telling myself that I should, but I don't. My depression is lifting, slowly but surely. My parents divorce will be finalized tomorrow, and that comes with a lot of mixed emotions. Funny thing is though, I feel like my world is crashing around me and yet, I'm still standing. In fact, I feel like I'm grounded. I'm certainly not great, but I'm really stable right now. I hope I'm making sense. I can't begin to imagine the evil you've seen in prison. I'm glad you're taking the time to be grateful for the things that you have. We all have things to be grateful for. So I found a list online of "deep questions" to ask to get to know people better. So here we go, I'll ask you a few! And then maybe you can ask me some stuff if you want to, too. Are you more of an introvert or an extrovert?What's one thing you would change about yourself? What kind of parent do you think you would be? What are some of your favorite songs? That's all I have for now of questions! I love that poem you wrote. The word choice reminds me of old poetry, like early 1900s poetry. You've mentioned a woman in other poems before, I think. Do you have a girlfriend or is a woman a metaphor for something? Thank you for telling me about the publishing site, CreateSpace! I've actually been looking for a self-publishing site/company. I want to write a poetry book. I'm thinking it'll be a compilation of poetic letters to people I used to know, and no longer know (whether that be because they died, moved away, etc). Part of me thinks I could actually do something with my poetry, but part of me thinks that it's a stupid ambition. I don't know. I realized by the way, that I was going to give you my email in my last letter and I totally forgot to. So my email is graciealcott@gmail.com The name associated with it on Google is Marsha. That's because its a nickname I go by with a lot of people I know, and it's less confusing to just put Marsha as my name on Google. Here's an untitled poem from a few months ago. It's kinda dark and about my relationship with my dad.
I shouldn't bite the hand that feeds me so instead I find myself groveling and licking the New Balance sneakers of an elderly debauchee who holds one dollar bills in the back pocket of his corduroy pants. I feed the hand that bites me.
I hope you have a wonderful Christmas! You're strong, you're important and you're cared about. -Grace
I am hoping this reaches you. I am not sure what has happened with JPay but I can no longer email you? I hope it’s nothing bad. Anyways I just wanted to say Merry Christmas & wish you all the best. Stay strong. Tiggi

I meant to tell you, there's a lot about you that I'm sure they'd be proud of. I know they love you.
Take care.
