“Nanou d’Amour, Hello pretty Madam, I should say good evening given the late hour. This evening your letter n°2 and one from Mury. You make me smile with this letter. Because at the beginning... believing you have no chance, you don't care... and then, as my letter gives you hope, you are completely transformed. Tomorrow I'll see you and as I have news I'll tell you about it if you're still here (sic). Yes, a note from Mury who told me that you explained to him that I was waiting for news from him. I will respond to him at the end of the week. Because this evening I am in bad shape “from pain in my heart” as well as in my health. I'm going to bed very early and tomorrow I will be better. My letter will be very short, but I will see you tomorrow. Finally, nothing is certain.

I had a visit from Maître Gilletti and Maître Pelletier. Smadja is going to send me the indictment from the Public Prosecutor about my hold-up cases... and there are 132 pages... it seems that it is a real disaster... very work . On the other hand, I heard the sentence of these two bastards who killed an old woman (10 and 12 years old)... I only have one thing to say (Damn then). In any case, the Prosecutor presents me as super dangerous... and yet I am not that in my affairs, if I am in my environment. You can imagine that I don't care at all about his indictment. I don't have to expect anything from anyone. With Pelletier, we talked about detention. For some it's terrible, currently have destroyed some men in the style of USC. So I know what awaits me once I'm sentenced - "shit", and nothing has changed there... it's still hell... well, the future is not so dark, because I won't accept never mental destruction . There's no point in talking about it. I made my choice a long time ago… just like Jean-Paul did. This evening Saint-Étienne! So far it's working pretty well. Well, I'll finish, hoping to see you tomorrow. Sweet kisses land on everything that is you. Good night kitten… and don’t forget that I adore your VIEJO . »
