Dear Mr. Hinckley

Mr. John Hinckley

St. Elizabeth's Hospital

Washington D.C.

Dear John,

Hillary and I wanted to drop you a short note to tell you

how pleased we are with the great strides you are making in

your recovery. In our Country's new spirit of understanding

and forgiveness we want you to know there is a bilateral

consensus of compassion and forgiveness abroad throughout the

land.

Hillary and I want you to know that no grudge is born

against you for shooting President Reagan. We, above all are

aware of how the mental stress and pain could have driven you

to such an act of desperation. Hillary and I are confident

that you will soon make a complete recovery and return to

your family to join the world again as a healthy and

productive young man.

Best wishes,

Bill Clinton
