To the family, friends, and aquaintances of Mr. Frank Collier of St. Jo, Texas, and Mr. Roy Vance Hazelwood of Whitesboro, Texas: To the citizens of St. Jo, and of Whitesboro; and to whom it may concern:

If anyone has any doubts, the answer is "Yes." I am guilty of both my crimes. There is no one to blame but myself. No one put me here, but me. I have made horrible choices in my life, and done horrible things. I am sorry. I sincerely apologize to each and every one of you. I wish I could go back in time and undo all the damage that I have done. Regrettably, that is impossible. My Lord and Savior Jesus Christ has forgiven me, although I understand you cannot. And so, like the thief on the cross at Calvary, I go willingly to meet my maker. I will be executed on June 11. It is my hope and my prayer that this gives you some measure of peace.

With sincerity and respect,
Clifford Boggess
