Description: Letter from Charlie Brooks Jr. to Charles Brooks, dated July 29, 1981
Description: This is a handwritten letter from Charlie Brooks Jr. to his son, speaking about his efforts to guide a fellow prisoner onto the right path, stating that the man reminds him of his son. Charlie then tells Charles not to completely shut people out of his life, and encourages him to keep writing letters to his family even if they do not always answer. He then speaks about his own trial, and how he believes that though he has been found guilty he will not be executed, as he has yet to exhaust the appeals process. He has faith that justice will be done, but resigns himself to execution if it is in God’s plan.
