'Easy Charles MacManson', 2pp. 4to., Corcoran, 1997, sent to his biographer Nuel Melton regarding money and cars. In part: '...I thought you had money, I forgot you like to spend it as well as make it...Do you want me to send you some spare change you can get a bottle of wine. Hobo Mel midnight train I love it. Look kid you know how we do it in left field. I can only spend 35 bucks a month and I got at least 5 or 6 hundred on the books...This letter I got from Smith surprise me, never know you not to have at least 2 jobs but then it's been a while since I looked outside. Hard times. You know the ways of cars and stuff like that. Can I check with the D.M.V. and find out where my old cars trucks and buses are now I've had in the past. I got a 1941 dodge power wagon...' Boldly signed at the conclusion. An individual, possibly a Manson family member, has added an additional post-script addressed to Emmons, adding 'Thanks for the $50.00. I appreciate it a lot! Easy - ME -' Accompanied with a hand addressed 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. He co-wrote 'Manson in His Own Words.'
