Tupac Shakur Handwritten and Signed Love Letter from Prison

Tupac Shakur hand-wrote and signed this one page love letter to Simi when he was incarcerated at the Clinton Correctional Facility. Tupac and Simi had started corresponding after she initially wrote to him with her photo. Over time their relationship deepened until Tupac was quite in love with her. Tupac hand-wrote this letter on an 8 x 10.5 sheet of lined notebook paper in blue ballpoint pen, dating it June 28, 1995 and signing it "Forever, 2PAC." Tupac assures her that she'll be hearing from him soon, and that he's sending her a small note "2 let U know, U were on my mind..," further writing, "p.s. A picture is Worth a 1,000 words so...send me a thousand words sweetheart!" with a smiley face drawing. The letter is accompanied by the original 9.5 x 4 envelope hand addressed by Tupac, with his handwritten return address and inmate number. The envelope is post dated June 28, 1995 and bears the Clinton Correctional Facility stamp as well. Very good condition. Comes with a Gotta Have Rock & Roll™ Certificate of Authenticity.
