PICTURE OF HIS GIVEN ME BY HIS WIDOW NEXT TO YOURS AND THAT OF MY
DEAREST FRIENDS STOP I MOST STRONGLY BELIEVE HOWEVER THAT THE
ELECTROCUTION OF COLLAZO WOULD BE USED IN BAD FAITH BY ENEMIES OF THE
UNITED STATES TO CREATE A COUNTERVAILING FEELING IN LATIN AMERICA AND
THE WORLD TO THE FINE ACTION IN THE RELATION TO THE comMonWealth OF
PUERTO RICO WHICH WILL BE INAUGURATED FRIDAY STOP THE STRONGEST
PUNISHMENT OF COLLAZO WOULD NOT BE DYING IN THE BELIEF THAT HE IS A
MARTYR TO A CAUSE BUT TO LIVE IN JAIL TO SEE THE REAL FREEDOM OF PUERTO
RICO COMMA WHICE OWES so MUCH TO YOU COMMA FLOURISH UNDER THE
CSMMONWEALTH STOP MR PRESIDENT A COMMUTATION TO LIFE IMPRISONMENT
COMMA HOWEVER UNDESERVED BY COLLAZO COMMA IS DESERVED BY THE UNITED
STATES STOP THIS MESSAGE IS PERSONAL AND WILL NOT BE PUBLISHED STOP
