After MSNBC Political Reporter Benjy Sarlin wrote about Donald Trump's speech at last weekend's Freedom Summit in New Hampshire, he said he received a handwritten note from the real-estate-mogul-slash-reality-television-star. Sarlin posted a picture of the missive, which was a copy of his article with Trump's criticism scrawled on top on his Facebook page Tuesday.

Trump drew an arrow pointing to a line that said, "Trump also spoke" and added some thoughts.

"Benjy - And got the biggest response (by far) + standing ovation," Trump wrote. "Be honest now."

He finished his note by sending Sarlin "best wishes." Sarlin told Business Insider he was glad to hear Trump's thoughts.

"I appreciate Mr. Trump's constructive criticism just as I appreciate all reader feedback," Sarlin said.

Trump has a habit of sending handwritten annotations of his press clips to reporters. In 2011, Trump sent Vanity Fair editor Graydon Carter a marked up copy of a blog post from the magazines website. Sadly, Business Insider has never received any correspondence from Trump.
