The beheading of journalist James Foley by ISIS militants was a horrendous incident, and the family has now released the contents of his final letter to them before his death.

The letter was posted late Sunday on the “Free James Foley” Facebook page, and mentions past memories of his family, some details of his situation at that point in time, as well as some words for his loved ones going forward.

Eighteen of us have been held together in one cell, which has helped me. We have had each other to have endless long conversations about movies, trivia, sports. We have played games made up of scraps found in our cell…we have found ways to play checkers, Chess, and Risk… and have had tournaments of competition, spending some days preparing strategies for the next day’s game or lecture. The games and teaching each other have helped the time pass. They have been a huge help. We repeat stories and laugh to break the tension.
