(1934-2017) Drifter whose 'family' committed the infamous Tate-LaBianca murders in 1969. A.L.S., 2pp. 4to., [n.p., n.d.], sent to his biographer Nuel Melton. Excellent content concerning illegal drugs, in part: '...Tell Red [Lynette Fromme] and Blue [Sandra Good] I got everything I need and there is only one thing I want. I want to clear something that was in book's press, and the DA's dream, that’s about drugs back in the 50s. A few of us smoked grass and a genie pill now and then, no big thing. I've known a lot of dope feens but I never fucked around with them...when they fucked with hard drugs I didn' have much to do with them. When in 1967 I got out everyone was smoking grass as harsh and LSD type things were going on, I never fucked around heavy drugs...Grass or LSD types like peyote or mushrooms. I've never played with needles and the people that did I've always stayed away from them...' 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'.
