Manson, Charles. Autograph Letter Signed Two pages, recto and verso, Folio, Vacaville, CA, April 18, 1981. Accompanying the letter is the original transmittal envelope, which reads, in large black Sharpie letters, "Photo from Charles Manson Family" To Al Dubois of Cranston, RI. Here the trail of Manson's rambling mind is difficult to follow, however, the insight into this villianous man is crystal clear. In part:
"Dear Dre De, Drede, is better than dingaling--dingaling is some kind crazy--Drede is more where i can remeber it… my first dreamis to fill your jaws with good stuff & trim you down look deep into your soul & sing a peace song of compleet [sic] & hnad you a hand to wlak around in the street… Send me a good thought right now and we'bottom left all go to the hot springs of our mind & rub on the rocks & stones & itch our noses with the sticks & loose 3 lbs in one night… a long walk makes everyone sleepy & its nice to take ones [sic] time and rest easy".
Very Good.
Estimated Value $100 - 150.
This chilling letter gives proof of Manson's persuasive aura and troubled, which led to his cult "family's" nine murder convictions in 1969.
