List of Seinfeld episodes

"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. This episode is famous for Kramer's portrait, titled "The Kramer."

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. 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 Baltimore cap. The elderly couple buy "The Kramer" for $5000 and invite Kramer himself over to their house for dinner.

  • Despite spending $500 on a painting in this episode (and shortly thereafter trying to sell it to Jerry for $10), George later spends $1900 on triangle art from an ex-boyfriend of Elaine in Season 4's "The Junior Mint."
  • The painting "The Kramer" would later be used as a prop in Even Stevens. Interestingly enough, in "The Opposite", Kramer said to Jerry that he was "Even Steven."
  • After being hit in the head by a baseball, Kramer refers to Elaine as Carol. The character of Elaine was partly based on Carol Leifer.
