I miss you and the children terribly. I hope that things are getting easier, I know it’s hard but there are many people who love you and will help our family get through this terrible time. I am very grateful that Atticus decided to pursue my case; it is humbling to know such a fine man. He sees me for who I am and not only my skin colour.
How are the children? I find myself missing the simple things the most, your home cooked food, the children’s laughter, and watching them grow each day. I find it very hard to picture being stuck in this dingy place for years to come. I know that the church is helping you, as work has been difficult lately. I am truly sorry that this happened.
It was revealed today in court that Mayella was beaten by her father. I feel sorry for her. She's a good girl who is just missing her sense of values. She was raised by a rotten man who beats his own baby girl. I don’t blame her, she is lost.
Atticus indirectly proved to everyone in the courtroom that I am innocent. It didn't change the verdict, but at least everyone will know, in their hearts, the truth. Atticus helped restore my reputation and honour of our family. Atticus did the impossible and for that I am truly grateful and admire his bravery.
