"Mick Jagger&amp;#039;s ex-girlfriend is auctioning his love letters in order to pay her bills. Marsha Hunt dated the Rolling Stones frontman from 1969 to 1970, with the relationship bearing a child, Karis Jagger Hunt.  Hunt, who now lives in France, told The Guardian that she is selling ten love letters because she is &amp;quot;broke&amp;quot;, saying: &amp;quot;Anyone who has the impression that I have money knows nothing about me.  &amp;quot;I had friends who came to visit from Pennsylvania and there was no electricity in the house because the bill had been too high, I was kind of grooving it with a wood burning stove. One friend said, &amp;#039;Surely you&amp;#039;ve got something you could sell?&amp;#039;&amp;quot; The ten letters were written between July and August 1969, around the time Jagger was filming Ned Kelly in New South Wales, Australia. It was while Jagger was in Australia that he wrote the Stones hit &amp;#039;Brown Sugar&amp;#039;, which Hunt has confirmed is about her. The letters will be sold at Sotheby&amp;#039;s for an estimate of \u00C2\u00A370,000-100,000. Sotheby&amp;#039;s manuscripts specialist Gabriel Heaton said: &amp;quot;They are much the best letters by Jagger to have come up at auction... it is obviously a really important time in terms of cultural history.&amp;quot; This year is the 50th anniversary of the group&amp;#039;s formation, which has been marked by the release of a new documentary, a reunion with former bassist Bill Wyman, and their first new recorded material in seven years.
