ALT Dear Books to Prisoners, I would like to thank all of you good people for all the good that you do. I am the chief cataloguer in the prison’s main prison library.

Although I have written to a few others, you are the only organization who have ever sent me anything and I am truly grateful. The last three books I received hit me right on the money. Anything I can learn from is always welcomed. When I finish with the books I catalog them into the main prisons library for all to enjoy. I see that you have included some information dealing with law. That is something that all inmates here should be interested in and I thank you again for your caring. I personally have written to over
