Description:


(b. 1948) 'Squeaky', a follower of Charles Manson, later attempted to assassinate President Gerald Ford, failing to get a shot off when her gun jammed. A.L.S. 'Red', 6pp. 4to., West Virginia, 1980, to Charles Manson. In part: '…What are all these notes about a red vest? Von Bruno must be uncomfortable. I'm gonna try to stick to important things in this letter...I ordered you two shirts and wanted to send for parole hearing but company messed up. I got them today and ill put something on them and fix the sleeves the way you like. I wish I knew when the hearing is...Mel said he'd send Zo 600 this week. She plans to come here around Nov. 10th and stay for a week or so...Mel said he was still waiting to hear from Blue and Blue says he's got no class and he's the one who should have written after the visit....I'm not really real down, just tired and juggling between a lot of things to do. Just writing about a few simple things to B, Z, and Mel or arranging to have some photos made is sometime a big deal for me.... I don’t think that most people understand even a part of what happened to us all but I think that seasoned cops, some prison staff, and maybe even parole board know you didn’t hold the lead or brainwash us. If I could write it all out, I would like to feel there was nothing more immediate to do than that. My guilt in this situation, my responsibility, even though faces by me (for you being there) creates in me a little nervous condition. I've faced it a lot of times and I'm sure it creeps into others dreams like Tex and yet the phase to cover it rides in their consciousness as maybe or surely their only way out. ...When I think what people think based on the little they hear or read there is actually very little real communication in the world at all. You can say one sentence and it turns up distorted in 7 different ways by 7 different newspapers.' Accompanied with the original mailing envelope signed and addressed by Fromme. 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'
