"Write Me a Letter" is a song by American hard rock band Aerosmith. The song was written by lead-singer Steven Tyler and is the sixth song on Aerosmith's self-titled debut album, Aerosmith. The song is mostly a rock and roll song; it starts off with a drum line and goes into slow blues jam with Tyler singing about a letter from a lover he is waiting for. The song is the first use of the harmonica in an Aerosmith song.
