A rare glimpse into the private life of Marilyn Monroe took place this weekend as love letters to and from the movie icon were sold at auction.

Julien's Auctions in Beverly Hills offered up "a love letter written to Marilyn by Joe DiMaggio after learning of his impending divorce which sold for $78,125," a post-auction release stated on the business's site.

In the letter, DiMaggio calls Monroe "Baby" and writes about his love for the actress.
