In 1961 Joe DiMaggio organized there Marilyn's transfert from the Payne Whitney Hospital.

She was hospitalized there from February 10th to March 5th 1962, room 719, for physical and psychological exhaustion.

DiMaggio visited her every day.

Shortly before leaving the hospital, she wrote to Dr Greenson :

"Dear Dr Greenson,

Through the window of the hospital, I see the snow has recovered everthing. Every greens are faded. I see the grass and the evergreen frail bushes, but the trees give me some hope - their sad and bare branches may announce spring and promise some hope...As I'm writing those words, four silent tears have flew on my cheeks. I don't know why. I haven't slept all night long. Sometimes I wonder why the night is used for. To me, it's only on long endless day".

On February 27th 1961, she received a support message from Marlon Brando :
