A letter written by tragically deceased The Doors star Jim Morrison is expected to go under the hammer at RR's Marvels of Modern Music auction for over US$23,000.

Morrison penned the note to his friends Frank and Kathy Lisciandro while living in Paris, France three months before his death in 1971.

It reads in part: "Sorry not to have written sooner. It doesn't seem like I've been here this long. We've been travelling - in Spain, (Granada was best) Morocco, Southern France & Corsica - where I lost my jacket, money etc. & had to fly back to Paris to wait for more.

"If Sicily is anything like Corsica you'll probably love it. We'll be back in Paris around June 7 thru Sept. There's an extra room so please stay w/ (with) us. How is everything? Say hello to everyone & try to get over here."

The ongoing ends today and bidding for the letter has hit US$23,000.

Autographed and rare memorabilia from John Lennon and the Ramones are also up for grabs.
