This brief note, along with a photograph of John holding a gold record, was sold by Sotheby's in 1983:

"Mays -- seedoats and does--oats...
Ok, a picture
Some are worth 1,100 words
But this one is worth ONE
*We made it*!
Love John"

The first line of that, Hunter Davies suggests, refers to the 1940s novelty song Mairzy Doats.

The "We made it!" refers to his topping the charts with "Whatever Gets You Thru the Night," -- an enormously big deal for John , particularly after the poor reception for his previous couple of records. The "We" is an acknowledgement of May's help.

BTW, this note was "lost" in the sense that May never received it, and did not see it until Hunter Davies showed her a copy.

The images are in Davies' book The John Lennon Letters.
