"The Letter" is the thirty-ninth episode of the sitcom "Seinfeld". The episode was the 22nd of the third season. It aired on March 25, 1992.

Plot

Kramer poses for a portrait by Jerry's girlfriend, Nina (Catherine Keener), which an elderly couple admires. George feels obligated to buy something when he accompanies Jerry to his new girlfriend's art studio, and purchases a $500 painting, which he tries to sell to Jerry for $10 shortly thereafter.

Elaine wears a Baltimore Orioles baseball cap in the owner's box at Yankee Stadium, and refuses to remove it. Jerry finds out his new girlfriend is a plagiarist after he hears the words she wrote in a letter on television (specifically, the film "Chapter Two").

Elaine gets a chance to return to Yankee Stadium with her boss and is told to wear the Baltimore Orioles cap. This, after already having come up with an excuse to miss her boss's nephew's bris, so she could attend the prior game. She claimed that her father was ill at home in Baltimore, and her presence was required. The elderly couple buy "The Kramer" for $5000 and invite Kramer himself over to their house for dinner.

Trivia

*The famous portrait of Kramer in this episode, entitled "The Kramer," was later used as a prop in the TV show "Even Stevens". It was also widely available as a poster.

*After being hit in the head by a baseball, Kramer refers to Elaine as Carol (which is a reference to Carol Leifer, who Elaine's character is partly based on) and to George as Mike (referring to Michael Costanza, a friend of Jerry Seinfeld whose surname was borrowed for George).
