The letter, written by Jobs just two years before he and Steve Wozniak co-founded Apple, is in response to a letter from Brown.

It expresses Jobs’ views on Zen Buddhism and his desire to visit India for the Kumbh Mela, a major Hindu pilgrimage and festival that is celebrated in a cycle of about 12 years.

Brown and Jobs went to Homestead High School in Cupertino, California, where Apple is now headquartered.

Why It Matters: Bonhams says on its website that the letter, which reveals Jobs’ spiritual and poetic side, is likely to fetch between $200,000 and $300,000 during the auction in Los Angeles.

This marks the first time a handwritten letter by Jobs has ever come to auction, as per the auction house.

Steve Jobs memorabilia items typically fetch a high price at auction as anything related to the late Apple co-founder is valued immensely by people around the world.

A single-page signed job application filled out by Jobs in 1973 sold for about $222,400 at auction in London, it was reported in March this year.

A copy of the Fortune magazine signed by Jobs had a minimum bid of $11,000 in an auction last year, according to a report by AppleInsider.
