ALS signed “2Pac,” one page, 8 x 10.5, August 21, 1995. Letter to "Ms. Lee Morris" in England, written while incarcerated in the Clinton Correctional Facility in New York. In full: "Thanx 4 writing 2 me. Wordz can't express the joy I experienced from reading your letter of support. I hope we can be friendz. I don't have any friendz in England will u be the first. My next letter will be deeper and more in depth, but I need a picture 2 c who I am talking 2. Keep ya head up. Thanx again. Keep the faith. Stay in touch. Send pictures." In fine condition. Accompanied by the original mailing envelope addressed in Shakur's hand, incorporating his full name, "Tupac Shakur," in the return address area. Shakur had begun serving a sentence at the Clinton Correctional Facility in February 1995 after being convicted in a sexual assault case. His album Me Against the World was released a month into his sentence and made an immediate impact on the charts, debuting at number one on the Billboard 200. Tupac's confinement proved an important period in his artistic development as he took the time to read philosophical works including many by Niccolo Machiavelli, which inspired his pseudonym 'Makaveli.' Handwritten material from Tupac is very scarce and highly sought after, with this letter and envelope combination being especially desirable due to the inclusion of two variations—"2Pac" and "Tupac Shakur."
