Scarce TLS one page, 8.5 x 11, August 20, 1965 official letter to the William Morris Agency. In part: As an accommodation to me, I request that all monies which you may receive on my account be paid, after deduction of any commissions payable to you by me, to and in the name of Thomas Jay Sebring at Sebring?s Internationals. You shall not be held responsible or in any way accountable for the disposition, by Mr. Sebring, of such funds. Your responsibility with regard to such funds shall end when a check payable to Mr. Sebring has been either delivered to him personally or deposited in the U.S. Mail addressed to him as indicated above. Jay Sebring, who came to prominence as a hairdresser to the stars, first met Tate at a party at the famed Whiskey a Go-Go nightclub in 1964. The two began a romantic relationship and were engaged after Sebring?s divorce in 1965. Though their engagement ended when Tate fell in love with her Fearless Vampire Killers director, Roman Polanski, Sebring remained close to the actress and also befriended Polanski. On August 8th, 1969, after spending the day together with friends at her and Roman's home at 10050 Cielo Drive, Sharon, over 8 months pregnant, Sebring and others went out to dinner together at a Mexican restaurant that evening then returned to Tate?s residence. In the early morning of August 9th, one of the most heinous crimes in history had been committed to 5 innocent people and an unborn child. Sadly, Sharon and Jay, two friends that loved each other now will always be mentioned in the same sentence because of what happened that night in Benedict Canyon in the hills of Hollywood. Light handling wear with a few marginal creases, otherwise fine, clean condition. A scarce and notable association of two figures from this most horrifying of Hollywood crimes! $4,250
