An archive of 21 letters faxed by Madonna to boyfriend James Albright spanning the years 1992 to 1994. The faxes are from all over the world, including Tokyo, Brisbane, London and Los Angeles. Some are on her "Maverick" letterhead, others are from the hotels she was staying at such as the Regency Club, The Ritz-Carlton and the Hotel Okura. A few come from her "Boy Toy" offices. She uses the code name "Lola Montez" (a dancer and actress born in Ireland who became famous as a Spanish dancer, courtesan and mistress of King Ludwig I of Bavaria), and sometimes refers to Albright as "Ceasar", "J", "James", "Booty Man" (calling herself "Lil Booty") and even in one letter writing, "Happy Thanksgiving Sambo." On the back of one of the faxed letters Albright has handwritten a letter to her, addressing her as "Hey Dumbo" and signing it "Yours Truly, Little Black Sambo Esq." The pages are mostly 8.5" x 11" and overall very good condition. Estimate: $3,000 - $4,000.
