Bulger also touched on his upcoming sentencing in November. Bulger writes that he expects the worst is yet to come, but welcomes the peace. Despite being found guilty on 31 of 32 counts, Bulger revealed he's still "getting things together for appeal."

At the end, Bulger tells his pen pal to meet a nice girl, enjoy life, and appreciate freedom.

Last month, the South Boston mobster was convicted of extortion, murder, and money laundering.
