Apparently, this letter is real, and my respect for John Steinbeck just went up considerably, because it's so incredibly well-written. *chef's kiss*
I think the letterhead on his stationary is fabulous. Simple, balanced, and unostentatious, using an classic and stylish font. More than fifty years later it still looks good.

I agree. Just the sort of thing a writer should have. His tone in the letter indicates he has a wise and wry humor about him. Anybody know if Marilyn ever sent him the picture he requested?

Every year an amazing story or two comes out about The Master's Tournament!!


A man had two of the best tickets for The Masters.

As he sits down, another man comes along and asks if anyone is sitting in the seat next to him.

"No", he says, "the seat is empty."

"This is incredible!" said the man, "who in their right mind would have a seat like this, the biggest golfing event of the whole world, and not use it?"

He says, "Well, actually, the seat belongs to me. My wife always would come with me, but she passed away. This is the first Masters we haven't been to together since we got married."

"Oh ... I'm sorry to hear that. That's terrible. I guess you couldn't find someone else? A friend or relative or even a neighbor to take the seat?"

The man shakes his head. "No. They're all at the funeral."
