Description
Mr. Bowland regrets that he may have violated prison rules by writing lengthy letters to his son, Robert. He felt that the letters would prevent Robert from becoming bitter and morbid concerning his own fate. He thanks Rev. Finley for writing him, and asks him to see Robert as often as possible and soothe his wounded pride. He still hopes that Robert will be pardoned. Abstract Number - 1070
