Includes four internal memos, mostly from Billy Gordon, regarding his attempts to get in contact with Marilyn and recounting conversations with her, four Western Union telegrams either to or from Marilyn, two typed letters from the studio to Marilyn ordering her to report to the studio and with monroe's copy of one of the letters in an unopened envelope stamped Return to Sender.
