He was also ordered not to go near Ms Soubry's constituency address in Nottingham.
The Crown Prosecution Service (CPS) said The Letter was addressed to her constituency office, and was opened by her constituency manager who called Police .
Jo Cox was murdered in 2016 in Birstall, West YorkshireBarlow was traced by his fingerprints on The Letter and from CCTV at the Post Office counter in the Doncaster branch of WH Smith, where he posted it.

Chief Crown Prosecutor Gerry Wareham said: "This letter contained a sickening and ominous threat to Ms Soubry, with an explicit reference to the murder of Jo Cox MP in 2016.
"Ms Soubry and her staff in the constituency office understandably found The Message deeply disturbing and highly offensive.
"What is more, attacks such as this on our elected representatives are attacks On Democracy and perpetrators will be prosecuted. "
