Camille, I tried to mail this, but it was returned for insufficient postage. I'll explain later. Sorry it's late and not private. :(

Dear Camille,

Again, je suis desollé pour ne ecrire pas en français mais...I don't have time tradure. (How's that for some off-the-cuff French? I'm actually learning as that's all right out of my head, not from looking up French words and usage.)

Anyhoo, thanks for your letter, explanation of Facebook and printouts of my profile and page.

1) First, what is most important is you pimping the Whitey Bulger essay. Having studied publishing I KNOW it's value, and I'd like to see you get some $$ for your help and then also to set up my own bank account (linked by J-Pay to my Facebook page or profile...), so, I urge you to send the query letter for the essay to Playboy.com (and other publishers of hard, gritty news, maybe Hustler or a French publisher), let them say if they want it and what they'll pay - accept nothing less than 1000 US dollars.

Sounds like you're a virgin at publishing, and being an agent. Not any more! :)

Trust me, the media will crave that essay - Whitey refused to see Johnny Depp when Depp tried to meet Whitey (at the prison I was in w/Whitey) so Depp could do a good job of portraying Whitey. So Whitey is a recluse and the media and public get unavailable info from my essay, along w/a view of the dirty, violent world of US federal penitentiaries.

So, play hardball. I'll rewrite it, if they wish. But it'll sell.

2) At your leisure you can publish my poetry books - I have a third, my best yet. I'll mail you "soon" to keep and e-publish when you wish. Promise you'll love it! :) Vol 1. of Em Doer certainly, until I get the revised version sent to you (working on that!), there's no hurry in translating it - the revisions aren't massive, but they are important.

3) About my Facebook stuff: I won't miss the photos, so long as they're preserved on my page. Keep 'em or chuck 'em. I did figure they'd interest Europeans, the ones about Montana, as Europeans settled there and Europeans can see an actual wagon that was reconstructed into a barn. And the American Indians there, Lakotas/Sioux, were some displeased mean s.o.b.s!

When you can, go to my blog and get the related photos I POSTED APRIL 2013 and please put those too on my Facebook profile and Instagram - you'll see that my stepdad was part Sioux, noticeable in facial structure. My granny and stepdad in the photos are dead. Will Facebook let me post the photos, as I'm their kin? Instagram them if not.

Again, I respect your judgement about the need for a profile and page. Thanks for explaining the dynamics. Some additions I hope you'll make to my Facebook page and profile include:

PAGE

1) Go to my blog and get the version of my self-portrait that is posted on 30 June 2018 (it's the best version) and use that as my main photo (your choice of background photo is brilliant! :) )

2: do a J Pay link to your account, noting what I said on page two of my 12th August letter. Already explained.

3. Grab from my blog my Feb 2018 drawing of Pence and Trump and put it up - please please PLEASE send it to Donald Trump, Hilary Clinton, Daniel Tosh and Katy Perry - if they comment on it, it'll blow up my page.

PROFILE

- my birth year is 1975, not 1997. :) Please correct.

Do #1, 2, and 3 above on profile too.

1: Under 'religious views' put: Secular Buddhist, Humanist
2: 'Political Views' put: I love Trump - he shows us all that is wrong with our political system: proudly ignorant rich are enslaving us, destroying the planet, manipulating idiots into supporting them. Our prison system is a crime against humanity.

3: Under quotes/citations, you misspelled 'voices' in the first quote - it should say 'vice', meaning evil.

4: Under about me, delete 'it is largely meant to direct you to' - replace that with 'check out' and then leave the rest. Then go on to say 'Nate's 6'5' has a full-scale IQ of 144 and a irrepressible sense of humor ('Get Fuzzy' by Darby Conley is his fave comic strip). He's looking for a sugar momma to bust him out and hide in her basement.

'He's good with kids, women, animals and crazy people too and would love to connect with people willing to help him publish/sell his art, poetry, songs, stories, essays.

'You can help Nate by ordering him up to 25 stamped envelopes at a time from JLMarcusWisconsin.com (Nate can't buy his own, due to debts from suing about prison conditions). And anyone can write him at:

Nate A Lindell #303724
WSPF PO Box 1000
1101 Morrison Drive
Boscobel, WI 538051000
USA

'Nate is a published poet, artist (drawings), essayist and renowned civil-rights litigator'.

5: in the appropriate section ("Publications"? "Journal"? - you'd know better than moi), not that an auto-biographical essay of mine was published in Parental Incarceration, Routledge (2016)

6: Also, in the appropriate section, note that for a donation (either to the J-Pay link to your account or to my account on prisoninmates.com/profile/NateLindell303724) of $150, I will do a portrait like the one of mine in my main photo for someone, but I only do two such portraits a year, as they take a long time to do. Interested parties must write me for details.

7: Look up my brother's, Thomas Lindell's Facebook page and ask him if he's ok with you posting that pic of him with his son. Probably he'll say no, but no harm in asking. He's a Conservative anus. Still, he's my brother.

8: Please go to, grab Vol 2 of Em Daer, remove/delete my old and wrong addresses from the cover, make it look pretty and post it as a PDF in the appropriate area of my page and profile.

9: Also from, grab the photo of me kneeling, with a straw hat, post on my page and profile with the caption, 'this was taken in 2014, at Coleman 2 USP a month or two after I went on the yard. Disregard the swastika tattoo - I'm no fascist nor racially hateful. I shaved my chest for the girls (who else?! :) ) - normally I look like I'm wearing a wolverine pelt on my chest!'

10: Also from my prisoninmates page, grab the two collages titled 'The Wisconsin Dept of Deceptions' and 'Prison is Carcinogenic' - post in appropriate areas of page and profile.

11: I didn't see anything for the 'contact info', 'relationship status' 'family', 'work and education' - did you fill in those areas w/the info I put in my long yellow sheet?

Well, that's it. Don't want to overwhelm you. Do, though, look up and send friend requests - so they know of and may follow my page/profile - these peeps:

LAWRENCE KRAUSS - a scientist (please like his book A Universe from Nothing) in Arizona.

WENDY STEELE - founder of Impact 100 Council, in Wisconsin/

ESME WREN - a BBC producer, or such

Daniel Tosh

If any of these celebrities like any of my stuff, my page will blow up and I might get serious help! Lawyer etc.

Please like/favourite Ed Wall's new book, Unethical and send Ed a friend request - tell him from me 'Ed respects you tried to make solitary humane/minimal. It's the decent people in prison - staff and [?] - who suffer.

No worries about your printouts being crappy. Remember, I owe you 25$/hr for this stuff. Comes outta my 1/2 of any $ from the Whitey Bulger essay.

For now, please just preserve the material that Joan e-mailed me/you. Read it, if you wish. We'll discuss it later.

Finally, enclosed is a short story I did. Tell me what ya think? (I think it's slick, touching). Then please scan and post on my F and O pages - ought to get some attention/likes.

My best, toi ami

NA.
