One letter is the last Burton ever sent her, one she received after she had attended his memorial service following his sudden death from a brain hemorrhage in 1984.
She said she keeps it by her bed, and read it to the magazine. According to a press release publicizing the July issue, in the letter Burton said he had been his happiest when with her, and wondered "Was it possible? Could there be another chance? For him? For them?"
It was not to be as Burton mailed the letter on August 2, 1984, and then died on August 5. The letter was "waiting for Taylor when she returned from London, after attending his memorial service. She unfolded the letter and read it with trembling hands."
