"Dear Rick, if you are reading this then listen to what I have to say, you were right about keeping Negan alive, I get that but I'm worried that Maggie won't agree with the situation, plus it seemed to remind me of Woodbury and Andrea. I've decided to leave Alexandria, if you're wondering, it's not against you, or Daryl or Carol, or Maggie, is that I received word about something going down in back in Atlanta, so I'm going back there to see what it is, I may also run into those cops, so hopefully they take me in, anyway please consider my final words here ""Never Give Up On Us""" —Jackson's letter to Rick in Season 9[src]
