Dear Patricia,

Although you are detained at present and your rights are denied to you, you must remember that is is an honor to be arrested for one's ideals on rights.

At the present time there are many struggles going on in many parts of this world and it is all because of man's inhumanity to man.

I firmly believe that goodness and justice will prevail. There will not be any second class citizens in this democracy.

My best wishes

Sincerely,

P. Schneider
