The partially printed cheque, completed in typescript, is drawn on the account of Marilyn Monroe Productions Inc. at the Colonial Trust Company and made payable to May Reis for the sum of $246.20. With a bank cancellation to the centre dated at New York, 27th December 1960, and a much lighter and barely noticeable cancellation beneath, only very minimally touching the first letter of Monroe´s signature. Endorsed and signed (´For deposit, May Reis´) by Reis to the verso. VG
May Reis (1904-1987) Private secretary to Marilyn Monroe from 1957, becoming a central figure in Monroe´s life as a friend, confidante and, as some biographers have observed, a maternal figure.
