PanARMENIAN.Net - Joe DiMaggio's love letter to Marilyn Monroe has sold for $78,125 at a Beverly Hills auction, according to The Hollywood Reporter

Julien's Auctions in Beverly Hills says the letter, written by the baseball great after Monroe announced she was divorcing him, was sold Saturday, Dec 6 to an undisclosed buyer.

The letter during their brief, volatile marriage was among 300 items, dubbed "Marilyn Monroe's Lost Archives," that went on the block.

A handwritten letter from Monroe to her third and final husband, playwright Arthur Miller, sold for $43,750.
