If you couldn't get a letter back from one of the actual Beatles, getting one from a Beatles family member would be the next best thing. Here we see two letters that at one time belonged to someone named "June." In my mind, June must have been a fan who sent letters and gifts to the Beatles homes. I assume that she sent Ringo and Maureen a card when Jason was born and Maureen wrote her a thank you note for it. Another time she got an response from the Beatle parent that seemed to keep up the most with the fan mail, Louise Harrison. It looks like she and some other fans stopped by Louise's home but missed her. I love how Louise tells the girls to go see Help! While I am sure June would have preferred getting mail from Ringo and George, I bet she was thrilled to get these letters from Maureen and Louise and that is why they are still around today. Liverpool auctions are going to be auctioning off these items in August I believe.
