The letter tells how busy Norma Jeane has been and how she has not worked at the Radioplane factory since January. Norma Jeane explains that she was photographed by Army photographers and met a man named David Conover who was “awfully nice and is married and is strictly business, which is the way I like it.” She tells how Conover has been photographing her and encouraging her to become a model. Of her husband Norma Jeane writes, “Jimmy seems to like the idea of me modeling so I’m glad about that.” The future Marilyn Monroe ends the letter “I shall be so happy to see you again dear and to see Daddy and Bebe, because I love you all so much...With love, Norma Jeane.” Accompanied by the original transmittal envelope. 7 by 4 1/4 inches Categories: Marilyn Monroe
