Dear Eric, Love John


That would be John Lennon to Eric Clapton, in a note apparently considering joining up forces to create a little magic together. I guess someone had other plans. But this little nugget is for sale, and you can buy it, alongside items like letters from Van Gogh, an apology from Joe DiMaggio to Marilyn Monroe, scribbles by Beethoven, and sketches by Thomas Edison. They are up for auction later on this month, but for now are on display at the Madison Avenue gallery of Douglas Elliman Real Estate. I'll be in that very neighbohood this weekend and maybe we take a gander for ourselves since "early Charles Dickens manuscript" didn't make any of our Christmas wishlists.
