Description:

(1934-2017) Drifter whose 'family' committed the infamous Tate-LaBianca murders in 1969. A.L.S. signed twice 'CM' and 'EZ', 2pp. 4to., Vacaville, [n.d.], sent to his biographer Nuel Melton regarding meetings and a guitar. In part: '...You made a nice day for me today. I've never felt so good in a long time...you helped me with all the fear I've been carrying...Ill send you all this mail and my old guitar. Maybe it would be easier if your son could just trade me his 12 string and later we could get another...What you feel and see yourself clear to do send as what ever. I feel that visit will bring you into much thought...I never put anything on myself that myself didn't want or like. Also I do hope our next meeting is long enough to get in some good work...We need a good place to get our heads straight...for you to put in paper word book brain talk where others can dig it...Mel I've said some things that I never got a chance to explain, like ways I feel only apply to me in as much as I see for my own personal life and survival. Anyway just some thoughts...' Accompanied with a hand addressed envelope, to which Manson adds a swastika in pen on top of his printed name in the return address. 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. He co-wrote 'Manson in His Own Words.'

Buyers should be aware that large, framed, fragile or odd shaped items can incur substantial shipping and packing charges.
