Description:

CHARLES MANSON
(b.1934) Drifter whose "family" committed the infamous Tate-LaBianca murders in 1969. So far has eluded the gas chamber. A lengthy correspondence to a Missouri man, 34 letters many multi-page, written in 1999 and 2000. The content is typical of Manson's schizophrenic stream-of-consciousness letters and a great cocktail party conversation-starter. In one undated multi-page example, Manson writes: "…Each time a person comes over me that is new to me in my thoughts, world, ways, life, they come with a lot of new thoughts on how to control me no in what as about who as what I am but with what they think from T.V.'s courts books & Judgements of LOTS of others - What you think I am as am not is not me its what you think & thats with in you - almost everyone has had their way with & in my life & with in the so called Manson family & the wemon [sic] & children of my Ranch, music & ways. They say all the bad they want & put there [sic] own Judgements of what they think & a lot of lies & distorted types put over on my& Each time I work through as work off a wave of people to retirement a new bunch of people came & come with ways to stop me from liveing [sic] my life with what they think when anything begainnings [sic] to work as look good for me they clame [sic] my efforts & cut me off from mail as if Im trying to do what they Think, as put my VISITORS on a wittnes [sic] program & put my Children & grand Children in foster homes & Change there [sic] names & they need to seek letters & cards back in other names … " Offered together with seven partly-printed DsS, being signed notification forms of rejected mail by the prison. Overall condition, very good to fine. Should be viewed.
