April 15, 1930, to "Marjorie"

[According to researcher Gary Olszewski, this letter might be to actress Marjorie White, who appeared with Joan in 1931's Possessed.)

April 28, 1930, to "Betty"

May 6, 1930, to "Rena"

June 19, 1930, to "Gloria"

November 14, 1931, to Bank of America

Christmas 1932 to "Lelia and Lenore"

Unknown date to writer Gertrude Walker

(Note: When this was being auctioned on eBay, I queried the seller re the date. He/she said there was no postmark, but that the envelope had a 2-cent stamp.

US stamps were 2 cents from 1919 to 1932, so the best guess is that this letter is from 1929 to '32, '29 being the year Joan first garnered major public attention.)
