A single-page typed, unsigned file copy of a letter dated December 19, 1958, to "Mrs. Chekhov" reading "My husband and I were so happy with the pictures you sent us of Mr. Chekhov. We will treasure them forever./ I am not able to shop for Christmas, as you may already know I have lost the baby, so I would like you to use this check as my Christmas greetings with all my most affectionate good wishes./ My husband sends you his warmest regards." The letter is accompanied by Xenia Chekhov's response written on a notecard dated January 10, 1959, reading in part, "[Y]our personal sad news affected me very much and I could not find the courage to write you sooner. All my warmest feelings of sympathy go out to you and Mr. Miller." This is a deeply personal note with an acknowledgement of a miscarriage in Monroe's own words.
