A personal letter from Michael Jackson to his wife Lisa Marie Presley has been pulled from an upcoming auction. The letter was written sometime between 1993 and 1996 and may give a glimpse into the medical condition that ultimately cost Jackson his life.
In the letter, Jackson describes his severe sleep deprivation, a condition that would eventually lead him to Dr. Conrad Murray.
". . . Lisa I truly need this rest I haven't slept litterally [sic] in 4 days now," the letter reads. "I need to be away from phones and Business people. I must take care of my health first Im' [sic] crazy for you Love Turd."
The letter was pulled at Lisa Marie's request and reps from the auction house say they were happy to comply:
"I'm assuming it's a personal nature, and we wanted to honor the request and continue our good relationship with Ms. Presley," auctioneer Darren Julien said in a statement.
