User-Contributed Transcription Pinellas County Jail, 3-WClearwater,Fla.Jan 5, 53Dear Nelson -I'll make this brief and to the point, omitting tears. I'm in again, on a tea rap, and looking at five years in Raiford, because of the previous Miami conviction. My trial date has not been set yet, but beating the rap looks pretty remote.How it happened - Two dicks blew in on me with a search warrant for morphine, saying someone at Bayou Saw had informed them I was shipping junk to one of the addicts living there. Knowing I was clean of any junk, I wasn't worried but I forgot about the remainder of the tea seeds I had stashed in a Band-Aid can. Pour!Caught that cold, what could I do?
