I expect and ask nothing from this system, which is merely a job creation scheme for the otherwise unemployable and unambitious and ungifted.` Accompanied by the original envelope hand addressed by Brady and signed by him with initials to the verso, and a printed slip inserted by Ashworth Hospital stating that the contents were inspected under the Mental Health Act, 1983.
