THREE JAMES “WHITEY” BULGER AUTOGRAPHED LETTERS SIGNED FROM PRISON IN 2011.

Three 2-pg ALS’ written to nephew Ryan Burns of Worcester, Massachusetts between September and December 2011, not long after Bulger’s re-incarceration. Content is quite interesting: “I don’t trust newspaper people – tv people – the law, etc., so it’s not possible for me to strike up a pen pal friendship. Visits are impossible. I’m in a cell 23 hours a day with a guard sitting outside my cell watching me through a glass panel – 3 8 hour shifts, 24 hours a day and a camera is mounted on the ceiling monitor all the time. No contact with anyone – isolated…highlights of day “MAIL”. I get some from people who want to save my soul – people who want my autograph – ! A girl wants to know if I’m her father… I am currently reading Stephen Ambrose’s Undaunted Courage…have not decided if I will cooperate – only 14 or 15 Alcatraz ex-convicts still alive – I’m one of them. 82 years old… difficult for me to picture your job as a financial analyst, but in life it’s work or join the rank of crooks…15 years in Santa Monica it was a challenge that became a habit…even went to the 99cent store many bargains there…and had cash in wall $820,000 – Obama ought to let me handle the debt to China…” Lots of interesting content; prospective bidders should read letters on-line. Letters are all in their original envelopes each signed “James Bulger” with his ID, Unit and Room numbers at the Plymouth County Correctional Facility and each letter is simply signed “Jim”. CONDITION: Very good to fine overall. Envelopes are all coarsely torn at the top, but complete with stamps and postal marks. 52013-6 (1,200-1,800) – Lot 2063
