My dear sister, I really looked for you today, more so
than any other time since I came to prison. Gracie told me someone had been by
to see you concerning me but she didn't know the particulars. You could never
imagine how extremely important it is that I see you as soon as possible. I know
how busy you are, and its hard for you to get here now, but do please take the
taxi and come out alone if the car isn't running.... or else ask Mary, if she
will dash out. Even Mozelle. I've been wanting a private chat with you since
last June, but you've always had someone with you when you came out, there are
many things you don't know. Do give my best to all especially Aunts Sas and
Gracie. Hilda sent me a picture of both of them that you took when she was here.
Do be sweet.
Your Brother Malcolm
PS I know I shouldn't expect so much but I will look for you Thursday. OK?
