Guys! I almost forgot. Jay's birthday is Thursday; the 31st. Spending your birthday in jail has got to be pretty miserable so I want to remind you all about it and encourage you to send him something. A note, a card, a book... :D He loves getting books. He said he plans to leave several of the books he's received behind for the jail library, so don't worry about sending him something he's already read; you'll be benefiting a good cause!

It doesn't have to be something fancy; just send him something to let him know we're thinking of him! (This is his 22nd birthday, by the way. Now he's older than me; eek!)

Thank you for starting this! :D I was planning on mentioning it in my next letter, though I can't send cards unless I get more stamps.

What are the rules for sending books again? Would we have to order them from Amazon and address it to Jay or what?

Oh! Thanks for organizing this, I'd forgotten Jay's birthday was in May! I'll definitely have to send him something...

Yeah. It can't come from a person; it has to come from an organization. So if you order from Amazon just have it shipped straight to him. You can even include a birthday message! :D

Jay, you have no idea how awesome this thing you're a part of really is, and you never will until eternity. And if you know me, you know I don't use the word awesome lightly. This is awesome.

Hang in there, man.

And there's a book coming to you sometime soon. Happy Birthday. :D

What's the title E? He mentioned some books to me, but I don't know if they were yours or not.
