I investigated some of this information for this book, and they never paid my last invoice. I spoke to the children of the families (Munger, Landau, Goodykoontz, and Patterson) and learned a lot. I gave some of this information to the owner of the pen set. I don't believe this to be true, and I told the people who hired me.
They wanted me to find a typewriter that didn't exist. Marilyn had a 1934 Smith Corona Sterling and Royal Quiet De Luxe model typewriter. I even spoke to typewriter collector Steve Soboroff who purchased the typewriters.
None of the neighbors had a typewriter, and none ever lent a typewriter to Marilyn. The people who hired me provided me with the signature at the end of the letter they claimed they found, and it is not Marilyn's signature, and Marilyn didn't type M.M at the end of her letters. If you ask me, they copied the signature of the bottom letter and copied it to the top letter. I took this signature from a letter Marilyn wrote. Notice the 'L' is thinner than her other letter. The 'M' is shorter, unable to see it, more squeezed together, and I have yet to see her signature 'n' look like a small half of an 'e'. You decide for yourself.
I a sorry but I don't understand: which secret letter are you referring to? If this is related to some older post, please advise which one. Thank you.
ReplyDeleteThey claim there was a letter inside the pen set, saying she felt unsafe. They claim the letter was under the felt. I have my doughts. but I make call them liars. I would think Truman Capote would have noticed the felt was higher. I'm upset because they never paid the last invoice, and my name was no where in the book, which was promised.
ReplyDeleteThank you.
DeleteThanks for sharing. From what the experts say, this letter is possibly genuine. But this letter seems to be asking Lee to join her for his professional guidance and friendship. I believe she really liked him. I do not get the tone of someone fearing for her safety.
ReplyDeleteWhat experts and who it Lee?
