FROMME LYNETTE: (1948- ) American Criminal, a member of the infamous Manson Family who was imprisoned for her attempted assassination of American President Gerald R. Ford in 1975. A lengthy A.L.S., with her initial R ['Red' being her name within the Manson Family], seven pages, 4to, n.p., n.d. ('Wed. nite - 19th'), to [Charles Manson]. Fromme commences her letter by sending news of some parcels which had been stopped by the postal authorities ('She's had to make a lot of calls on that. The other day when she called Mels someone told her that he'd gone to see you but maybe he just didn't want to talk to her. She's not calling him anymore. He didn't send the money (the second 300.00)') and continues, in part, 'Her trip on the train costs 233.00 & she'll figure it out from there but it doesn't leave her much to find a place to live. I told her to get into her Xmas box savings if necessary. She acts like she doesn't have it…..We've got some new thoughts on things to get too. As soon as she's in Berdoo we'll know how much she can afford for those. I'm telling you to keep you appraised of the situation…..Not because I want you to solve anything. She will solve it. I sent some mark & color cards with her that I made for them and special picture books…..Art books. Also a book for Bluegum [presumably Fromme's friend, Sandra Good, known as 'Blue' within the Manson Family] that is really nice. It is architecture of primitive time & type…..There are pages of photos in it of houses built in or under rock & boulders. Indian cities. Desert & mountain…..Lots of interesting structures in various countries & with various advantages for climate etc. It reminded me of the time eagle man told of wanting to build a house like a big skull on a hill & the eyes & nose would be the windows. Whenever the lights were on one could see the skull face from miles away…..I'm sending your package the day I send this…..I feel to leave the necklace Blue made you out of the pkg. I feel that if you can't get it, it would cause confusion……It's a lot of copper pieces with enamel on them & looks almost Indian. Your Indian name is Miwok (Mee-walk) language for ''your friend'' (as I remember it). It starts with M. I think it is Minsky Haskum……In the package there are 2 scarves from Blue…..Also 2 sweatshirt things, something for your bed…….I wonder where the word remember comes from. To member sounds like to join together. A member is a ''part'' of something. Like to be dis-membered is torn apart. So re-member should mean - put back together. There are things I would like to remember. Good article on your parole hearing. The reporter said you danced. The picture painted in her words was an interesting scene. Made me smile…..Oh yeah - I was thinking that a lie to oneself is a lie whether in the past or future. Like: I was thinking before that to say you'll do something & not do it is not as much lie as to say you did something when you didn't. But then I thought - a lie is a lie whether a person fools themselves before they do or don't do whatever it is, or after. It's illusion. In that light, I was a liar all along……..To agree to do anything in the future is to bind oneself with heavy responsibility, to keep track of time etc. So-called good intentions are illusion. Mel thinks he's good because he has good intentions. People agree or offer to do things to be good guys. To save face. Then when they don't they say they meant to. It's part of that social stuff this society teaches to avoid facing themselves. Like when you told Mike Feeney you liked him but you liked your beard more & you'd have to shave it to visit…..that really has stuck in my mind the past few years. It's so simple & clean. But society people will go to all kinds of pretenses to turn down an invitation. Like they'll make up a lie - & then if they think the person may find out, they'll get someone else to tell a story or turn out the house lights to pretend they're not home or take the phone off the hook - until the whole life is structured around alibis. Yes, I'd have to say that those of us raised in society have all been psychologically sick in the true sense. Divided in mind not by regard for other people's feelings as much as defense of our own personalities in fear of what others will think of us & worse, what we may think of ourselves…..' In a postscript Fromme further writes 'I meant to ask you for new cuss words. Fungus sounds pretty bad. But fungus serves a purpose.' A letter of good association. VG
