Jim Morrison's Last Letter A Top Item At Memorabilia Auction

Morrison penned the note to his friends Frank and Kathy Lisciandro while living in Paris, France three months before his death in 1971.

It reads in part: "Sorry not to have written sooner. It doesn't seem like I've been here this long. We've been travelling - in Spain, (Granada was best) Morocco, Southern France & Corsica - where I lost my jacket, money etc. & had to fly back to Paris to wait for more.

"If Sicily is anything like Corsica you'll probably love it. We'll be back in Paris around June 7 thru Sept. There's an extra room so please stay w/ (with) us. How is everything? Say hello to everyone & try to get over here."

The ongoing RR's Marvels of Modern Music auction ends later on Thursday and bidding for the letter has hit $23,000.

Autographed and rare memorabilia from John Lennon and the Ramones is also up for grabs.
