A handwritten letter from Jennifer Aniston to Matthew Perry is being auctioned off alongside several other of the late actor's most prized possessions.

Heritage Auctions has partnered with the Matthew Perry Foundation to auction off 130 of his personal effects on June 5, 2026.

Among the items is a photo album titled "The One with the Last Supper," which includes candid photos of Courteney Cox, Lisa Kudrow, Matt LeBlanc, David Schwimmer, Matthew, and Jennifer.

The photos were taken during the wrap dinner to commemorate the Friends stars' final episode in 2004, a gift from Jennifer to each of her castmates.

Included in Matthew's was an emotional letter, in which she described him as a "husband and a father," despite there being no record of him having ever married or having children.

"Matthew. Oh my Mod.... How am (heart) going to live without your light in my life on a daily basis," Jennifer began.

"I know that light has been dimmed at times and there were moments I was so scared it was going to go out all together. You have always comeback. I so thank you for choosing to live this life."

She continued: "You have so much to give and not just on the masses with your talent but as a friend and a husband and a father. We have come a long way baby since that night we met at the bar whose home I can't remember. Remember? On La Cienega. The sports guy?
