A two-page typed letter on personalized stationery, dated "July 14, 1958," addressed to Marilyn Monroe at the Bel Air Hotel from director Jean Negulesco. The letter is regarding a book titled The Midwife of Pont Clary which Negulesco sent to Monroe and writes about wanting to adapt into a film role for her. The letter reads in part "The thing of 'The Midwife of Pont Clary' is fundamentally sex...I have quite an exciting idea for the treatment of the story...I would like to sit down and talk to you about it...Please give this book to Arthur [Miller] to read...;" signed in black ink "Jean." This movie was never made. Negulesco directed Monroe in Full House (20th Century Fox, 1952), How to Marry a Millionaire (20th Century Fox, 1953), and River of No Return (20th Century Fox, 1954). 10 1/2 by 7 1/4 inches Categories: Marilyn Monroe
