They had obviously met earlier. I wonder if there was further communication between them on this matter. I vaguely recall the rumor about Brando's supposed interest.
 
Do you know if Brando ever replied? Would have made an amazing movie had it been made. Brando and Kerouac in On The Road... If only!
 
Brando kept the letter but never replied personally. Maybe he had his agent respond.
