You all might recall that John
Hinckley was a seriously deranged young man who shot President Reagan
in 1981. Hinckley was absolutely obsessed with movie star Jodie
Foster and, in his twisted mind, loved Jodie to the point that to
make himself well known to her, he attempted to assassinate President
Reagan.
“A federal judge on Friday gave President Ronald Reagan’s would-be assassin modestly more freedom, allowing the 58-year-old who has lived and received mental health treatment for more than three decades at St. Elizabeth's Hospital to spend 17 days a month visiting his mother’s home town of Williamsburg, Va.”
Following is a letter I could imagine
Mrs Reagan writing this man....

To: John Hinckley
From Mrs. Nancy Reagan
From Mrs. Nancy Reagan
My family 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 spirit of understanding
and forgiveness, we want you to know that we bear no grudge against
you for shooting Ronnie.
We are fully aware that mental stress
and pain could have driven you to such an act of desperation. We're
confident that you will soon make a complete recovery and return to
your family to join the world again as a healthy and productive man.
Best wishes,
Nancy Reagan & Family

P.S.
While you have been incarcerated, Barack Obama has been banging Jodie Foster like a screen door in a tornado. You might want to look into that.
