Trooper Williams,
It’s been 50 years and my guilt still is as strong now as on November 8,1970!
I asked to be transferred from Pamlico County to Edgecombe County and you took my place!
When I heard of the incident, my mind and body went numb! I should have not transferred, maybe you would still be alive and healthy and still with your family! My Guilt is as real as it was in 1970!! Sir if I could reverse my decision, I would! In Heaven you are and in Heaven, I know that we will rejoice together!!
