Letter from Stephen W. Winter to his parents, November 16, 1967

 Item — Box: 1, Folder: 2

Scope and Contents

This letter from Stephen to his parents has a different tone than the previous letters. It does not seem that he is updating his parents with information as much as it seems that he is speaking to himself and reflecting on the growth he's made as a person. Stephen emphasizes maturity, trust, and the connection between these two things being the reason for him being in prison now. Stephen expresses that being immature made him trust the wrong people, but now with maturity he shouldn't trust anyone. Stephen emphasizes that he does not see this thought process as pessimistic.
