Value of my Marlon Brando letter or note

Hi -

I have a note written in Tahiti from Marlon Brando to my husband Ted (deceased) that I've kept for years. Brando stopped by our hotel and left the note asking Ted to call to set up a time to chat about day tours to Tetiaroa. He gives several phone numbers and signed his full name. This was placed in an envelope which is addressed to Ted and also says "from Marlon Brando".

My new printer is worthless. If you must have a scan I can take it somewhere.

This was probably 1977 or 78, prior to the Playboy article. I have no doubt about authenticity. I was there when we received the note as well as at the meeting at the outdoor bar at the Tahiti Travelodge.

I'd like to ask for your opinions about its possible value. And, perhaps you can guide me to a place that has handled Brando's letters/notes.

I really appreciate any advice. Not being a collector, I know absolutely nothing: no guess as to value, no idea where to go from here.

Thanks so much for any help.

Mary Anne

In abou 2006, I bought a thank you note Brando wrote to a NY cabbie in 1965 for $500, from the cabbie.

OK. I am very busy with company coming and trying to move, but I will get it scanned at a Post Net type place and hope that they are able to upload to this site. Thanks for your reply.

A large cell phone photo may work.
