Two parts of a letter (only pages 6 and 7. Pages 1 thru 5 are unknown whereabouts) written by John to his wife Cynthia while on tour with The Beatles in Los Angeles on August 23, 1965 - their 3rd wedding anniversary. John was expressing how much he missed Julian and not being able to spend the time together. Cynthia was away that month of August visiting her elder brother Charles in Libya. (I already covered that subject; check out the Label ➡ Libya)
Many years later, after being published for the first time in Ray Coleman's biography Lennon, Cynthia sold this letter in auction. Then, some years after that, the owner decided to return it back in auction. This time Paul McCartney bought it. He had them framed and presented to Julian, much to Cynthia's delight. I wish I knew when Paul bought it from auction... Anyway, Cynthia wrote in her book John that this letter raises mixed emotions in her recent years. John may have felt genuine remorse in his absence, but old habits don't die easily.
Just a week prior (August 15th), The Beatles performed Shea Stadium, the first music group to ever hold a concert at a stadium.
