1957 Frank Lloyd Wright Hand Typed Letter To Arthur Miller & Marilyn Monroe

As this is the same seller that offers an obviously bogus "Wright drawing," suspicion must be cast upon these letters as well.

The note to Miller and Monroe in particular seems oddly written, and ineptly laid out. Are we entering a phase where fakers of Wright ephemera and
documents boldly enter the legitimate marketplace ? The only thing to be learned from the "Research Tower drawing" is that someone has been practicing
Wright's monogram. The blue ball-point signatures on the letters are doubtful, as a result; why are they shown bleeding through the paper---and why is the
reverse of the monogram shown as well ?

Would ballpoint ink bleed through the paper?
The two signatures look too much alike to be authentic. Wright's signatures varied a lot one from another.

Not unless the paper got wet ? Odd . . .

Does anyone know anything about the charity event at which these two letters were auctioned off? Or supposedly auctioned off?? An event like that should stick in someone's memory---
