Monica to Bill

Letters of Note blog is dedicated to the lost art of handwritten correspondence. This one is from Monica Lewinsky to William Jefferson Clinton written on June 29, 1997 (anyone knows why the LA girl Monica writes a European 7 with the line and dates the letter in the European fashion with month after the date?), transcript follows.

“Dear Handsome,

I really need to discuss my situation with you. We have not had any contact for over five weeks. You leave on Sat. and I leave for Madrid with the SecDef on Monday returning the 14th of July. I am then heading out to Los Angeles for a few days. If I do not speak to you before I leave, when I return it will have been two months since we last spoke. Please do not do this to me. I feel disposable, used and insignificant. I understand your hands are tied but I want to talk to you and look at some options. I am begging you one last time to please let me visit briefly Tuesday evening. I will call Betty Tuesday afternoon to see if it is o.k.

- M”
