A letter from John Steinbeck to Marilyn Monroe

How do we know that's not little Jon pretending to be his uncle John so that he can get a risque photograph of Marilyn Monroe 🧐

But I loved this either way.

Ha ha ha!
It's easy to see why Steinbeck was so lauded as a writer,
so much depth of perception, wit and nous.
Thank you for sharing it.

I'd be curious to know more about you, Dr Watson.

I love Steinbeck! Have you read the [i][b]East Of Eden Letters[/b][/i] which he wrote to his editor Pascal Covici as he was working on the novel? Brilliant stuff.

I'm a huge MM fan, not so much the attress, but the poet and book lover that few realize, so I love this!✨

From the 2nd paragraph on, damn he covered all the bases and oh so comedic!🤭🤭

No wonder he won Nobel prize for literature. I am sure this request was honored.

I really enjoyed reading that...thank you for sharing it. Disappointing though, that Marilyn never got around to granting the request of such a charming and amusing letter.
