NEW YORK - Marilyn Monroe's letter of despair to mentor Lee Strasberg, and Dwight D. Eisenhower's
heartfelt missives to his wife during World War II are among hundreds
of historical documents being offered in an online auction.
Monroe's handwritten, undated letter to the famed acting teacher is expected to fetch $30,000 to $50,000 in the May 30 sale.

"My will is weak but I can't stand anything. I sound crazy but I think
I'm going crazy," Monroe wrote on Hotel Bel-Air letterhead stationery.
"It's just that I get before a camera and my concentration and
everything I'm trying to learn leaves me. Then I feel like I'm not
existing in the human race at all."
The 58 Eisenhower letters, handwritten between 1942 and 1945, range from news of the war to the Allied commander's devotion to his wife, Mamie. They are believed to be among the largest group of Eisenhower letters to survive intact and could bring up to $120,000, said Joseph Maddalena, whose Profiles in History is auctioning the items.
