Dear  Aunt  Clara,  
 

 

 

 

 

I  am  writing  to  you  as  I  feel  I  need  to  get  something  off  my  chest  which  has  troubled    

me  greatly  and  has  occupied  my  thoughts  both  day  and  night
...
   My    
feelings  right  now  are  all  over  the  place
...
   My  fear  of  how  I  shall    
die  has  been  on  my  mind  since  I  have  arrived  at  San  Quentin
...
   Words  cannot  describe  my  feelings    
and  I  am  unable  to  vent  them  physically
...
   My  true  values,  beliefs  and  the    
meaning  of    my  life  is  now  being  fully  examined  and    fears  of  the  after  life  forces  me    to    
question  how  I    have  lived  my  life
...
   I  only  hope  this  has  given  me  enough  guidance  and  courage  to  face  my  executioners  with    
a  free  spirit  and  a  clear  conscience
...
   There  is  a  small  window  here,  I  can  see    
the  sun    beginning  to  set    and  I  see  a  glorious  mix  of  colours  in  the  sky
...
 
 

 
 

 

 I  have  had  a  lot  of  time  to  think  and  reflect  about  my  actions  involving  Lennie’s  death
...
   I  truly  am  the  loneliest  man  in  the  world
...
   Even  now  as  I  write  this,  I  can  see  the  horror  in  your  eyes  and  feel  the  sense  of  shame    
that  you  would  feel  towards  me
...
 I  know  that  you,  like  others,  have  formed  a  judgement  about  my    
involvement  in  his  death,  but  I  so  need  your  good  opinion
...
 
 
 You  know  as  a  child  I  have  always  felt  a  great  sense  of  responsibility  towards  Lennie
...
   He  was  a  gentle  giant  that    
needed  to  be  shown  and  also  protected  from  the  ways  of  the  world
...
     Such  a  responsibility      
forced  to  mature  quickly
...
   I  have  always  wanted  to  protect  him  from    
any  hurt  and  pain
...
   I  knew  that  if  was  caught  he  would  not    
understand  the  cruelty  of  this  world  and  I  wanted  to  protect  him  from  it
...
   I    
wanted  to  protect  him  from  that
...
         
 
I  can  comfort  myself  and  hopefully  you  as  well  that  Lennie  died  painlessly  and  peacefully  with  a    
smile  on  his  face
...
   His  was  instantaneous,  whilst  mine    
is  now  painfully  long  and  agonising
...
                                                   
 
If  you  could  only  see  the  hungry  look  of  revenge  in  the  faces  of  the  guys  chasing  Lennie,  like  a  pack    

 
 

 

of  tigers  chasing  a  weak  injured  animal  hungry  for  the  kill
...
   If  he  were  to  be  locked  up,  he  would  not    
know  what  to  do  or  understand  why  he  was  there
...
   You  did  not  see  the  anger  in  their  eyes,  an  anger  beyond  any  reasoning,  an    
anger  that  could  not  be  controlled
...
   Even  if  I  let  him  go,  he  would  starve;  I    
had  to  do  something
...
   He  was  a  burden  but  one    
that  became  part  of  who  I  am
...
   What  is  done  is    
done  and  I  now  have  to  be  held  responsible  for  it
...
   
 
I  know  that  I  will  be  meeting  both  you  and  Lennie  soon
...
 
 
The  sun  has  set  and  I  am  now  surrounded  by  darkness
...
 
 
Your  loving  nephew,    
George
