A small envelope with a typewritten
address noting "M. Monroe / 'M' Star Dressing Room" with Monroe's
penciled notes on it reading in full:
"Aunt Olive / VE8-7202 / Culver City /
triangle / cross the street / 9430 Washington / close cleaners /
4:30 / work / tex 07111 / ex 3704"
Evidently being directions; enclosed
within the envelope is a receipt from 'Twentieth Century Fox Film
Corporation' dated "June 12, 1954" noting that "M. Monroe" purchased
"1 Black Beret" for a grand total of "$12.94." Interestingly, Monroe
wore black berets frequently - in her films as well as in her
personal life. More
than likely, the "Aunt Olive" referred to on the envelope is Olive
Brunings, wife of Marion Monroe, who was the brother of Marilyn's
mother, Gladys Baker.
