The cursive seems off. I am wondering if this is Vanity's writing or someone else writing her a letter.

Now that would be equally as interesting. If they would like a scan or the original I would be happy to provide it.

Are you saying these are not the original copies?!? You claimed this was a letter from P to Denise. But it's signed "Fargo" and the cursive is off. Also, the pic of the other letter claiming to be from P while Denise was in the hospital seems "off" also

???

A "scan" or the "original?"

They are pictures of the letters... they can be scanned and sent email or the originals mailed.

It does not matter if you scan the letters or send the originals out. The handwritting is off on the ones you have scanned today. Perhaps you have something else that he actually signed with this name.

I will tell you if you try to sell these the handwriting will be analyzed and Prince's signature is out there to be compared.

Is the floral letter the proposal letter?

It is amazing she kept all this stuff and the pics. Are there any pics of her and Prince together ?

IMO, that first letter looks nothing at all like Prince's beautiful cursive writing - was he on a train or a plane experiencing turbulence when he allegedly wrote it? Besides the fact that the letter also makes no sense, is grammatically incorrect, contains misspellings, and why doesn't that letter, unlike all other correspondence I've seen from Prince to other people, use "U", "2", "B", "4" in place of "you", "to/too/two" etc? Prince didn't write like that. And it looks like it's signed "3Fargo" or Torgo?

-

I think somebody else wrote that letter and it got mixed in with Prince's letters, or got mislabeled as being from him, or something, I don't know.

What proposal letter? I never heard about Prince writing Vanity a proposal letter (doesn't mean that isn't so...I just have never heard anything about one.) I know he wrote Mayte a proposal letter - that letter was included in the items Mayte was going to auction off a few months prior to Prince's passing. But Mayte's proposal letter is the only one I've ever heard about or seen.

Pointless dialog... save it for someone selling something.

I am sorry I used the wrong wording - the letter proposing that Prince and Denise be on good terms or rekindle their friendship; I did not mean marriage proposal.

Maybe I misinterpreted I thought there was something mentioned about rekindling friendship.

No pics of her and him other than what is already out there.

I recall seeing a letter of hers to him, as if it were a practice letter or she may have made a mistake and re-wrote it. I initially ignored it because it said "To Prince Albert" or something like that.

In the letter she is asking if he had read her book and what he thought of her artwork and poetry.

It's possible that the letter was initially a response to something she had written.

They knew they would never be together but found solice in knowing how the other felt?

Just being able think... and know the other feels the same, was enough?

I would like to believe that.

--I do not care if you keep this stuff, display it on Prince.org or sell it. We are all telling you that what you have scanned today does not look like P's signature. Over and out.

After losing their sister, his pasting meant losing a (large) portion of their sister that had survived. A portion that they felt could some how be provided or explained by him at some later date.

Knowing and fearing how she might have reacted, independently, both DeBorah and Patricia said to me, "Thank Goodness she pasted before he did." I knew what they meant.

How touching that the family saw him as holding a large part of their sister Denise. After so many years gone past to it is touching to know.

I get that - their lifestyles were so different; he was Prince-sex-god , Icon and she was the Evangelist. It is nice to know they remained friends. It is nice they found ways to communicate even while living seperate lives and very kind of you and her family to be willing to share with her fans.

I've just studied P's handwriting on Google compared to these and I'd say it's Prince. And for the one he wrote when she was in hospital, Google the letter he sent to Bruno Mars, the writing and signature look the same. Could that have been when she was in hospital last year? I love the line "don't worry darling, u're gonna be cool. God loves u, probably now more than ever." How sweet.

You have studied it so all is well

TOB said:

So... there's no answer why in this letter (if Prince indeed wrote it) he chose to forego writing the way he did for literally decades and didn't use "U" for 'you', or "2" for 'to/too' and "4" for 'for' and "B" for 'be' and "R" for "are"? Or why, when compared to definitely authentic Prince written correspondence, this letter is riddled with misspellings and bad grammar, something which Prince was NOT known for? And the other letters and notes I've seen he'd write "Love God" somewhere, and lastly, why is this letter signed "3Fargo" or 3Torgo" or something?

I love how Prince says Darling in this letter - I love his vocabulary. I have always liked the word Darling and it is endearing even in his song Darling Nikki- something about Darling makes the song not just a sex romp but sort of sweet.

They wrote and spoke in metaphors and sent letters that only the other would recognize?

Is an interesting thought.

Of course my first thought is if he did it with everyone else.

I don't have much time to spectulate on it, that's for you true believers who have "Lassooed" me into this. However, I will now take more care not to dismiss something curious at first blush as I sort things out.

Family members do not make the greatest fans. I value the opinions of the members here, even those jaded who have experienced the frauds; in fact, especially those members. I could use your help with whatever I discover.

Above all else I valued what I loss... I feel and understand your loss and the loss of your own sister.

Thank You
