Dear George,

I believe that killing Lennie was the right thing to do. Which was better for him, jail, a painful death at the hand of Curley, or a quick death with peaceful thoughts of rabbits and tiny ranch? I think that telling Lennie about the ranch one more time was nice, it put him in a peaceful place. I also think that not yelling at him also helped like when you said,"No, Lennie. I ain't mad. I never been mad, an' I ain't now. That's a thing I want ya to know.".
Looking back to when Candy said, "I oughtta shot the dog myself,George. I shouldn't oughtta of let no stranger shoot my dog.". I think that putting poor Lennie out of his future misery personally was a good idea. If you want something done right or at least in a good way you have to do it yourself. I also think that killing Lennie was a good idea because even if Curley let him go and even if he was placed in a phsychiatric hospital he wouldn't have had a good life.
