By now, everyone knows Wayne has been spending his time in Rikers writing letters to keep his fans updated on his condition and morale in the bing. Moved so much by one letter, Weezy decided to personally reply to a letter from a solider from Orlando who wrote him explaining the inspiration his music has been on his own recording career.

“I found the address where Lil’ Wayne was staying in prison and decided to write him a letter telling him how he was an inspiration to me, and giving him encouragement while he’s in,” writes Davidson, who now says he’s scheduled to return to Orlando in a few months. (His company recently lost one of its own, but he says they’re “holding their heads up high.”)

To Davidson’s surprise, Lil’ Wayne wrote him back.

“I was coming back from dinner one evening,” he writes. “My buddy threw me a letter and looked at it and the sender section said ‘Carter.’ I was like, ‘Whoa!’ [Wayne] has uplifted the moral of a lot of the soldier who have seen the letter.”

To read what the letter actually wrote, hit the jump.

Nathanael,

I must thank you for always showing love and support. But I wrote this to tell you that your drive to do music is the exact tool needed for success. The studio, the surroundings, the situation are all key reasons for me to believe in you. And I do! Please don’t stop the music. It’s a life that never dies.

I’d also like to commend you on what you’re doing for the country, soldier! Thank you!

Stay focus[ed] sir.

Respectfully,

Wayne 8.8.10.
