When I was a child, I had “invisible friends” to help me through the times when I was lonely. Now old an alone in my cell, you are kind of like one of those friends. Thanks! I hadn’t received any mail for weeks and tonight when I felt almost desperate for a letter, I got your card saying books were on the way and it made all the difference to know someone I had never seen cared enough to do something like that.
