In part: '...The prison thought I'm nothing...I don’t tell them when they're wrong, I never see what you call them, I don’t let them believe or not believe their right as wrong, they are not they, them, and that what we call they is money...Like when...two males took knives and cut some on they were locked up and the guy that was cut was not punished and set loose, not so, now days they slam down the guy that got stabbed and send the others outside. They got rats that run court rooms and high police....If a killer tells me to do something and I don’t want to be killed I do it....I got no reality in their reality...' Included with transmittal envelope. Fine condition. From a grouping of Manson's letters in the estate of his biographer NUEL (MELTON) EMMONS (1927-2002), who had once been jailed with and later befriended Manson.
