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

She was hospitalized there from February 10 to March 5 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 27, 1961, she received a support message from Marlon Brando :
