Description
Former inmate, William R.P. Seman, writes to Finley about his experiences since release from prison. He is having a difficult time reintegrating into society because many shun him due to his prison record. He wants to live as the reformed man he became in prison, but this lack of acceptance from others makes it difficult. When he reflects on his past life, the evil committed and the bad habits, he is amazed that he is still alive. He feels he would have sunk even lower if it had not been for his mother's prayers.
