I have not been following the situation very closely so I would confirm this with someone else, but I believe the actual letter has not been made public. A few images have been floating around that are “artist’s interpretations”, and occasionally these have been presented as Trump’s actual drawing in various forums.
Again, could be off, been a busy week this is just what I gathered from skimming comments
You’re right, best I can tell, WSJ only described the image, but has not published it. Here is an archive of the WSJ piece that Trump is suing about: https://archive.is/IUWMu
I have seen this picture, but it has not been released by the WSJ, CNN, NYT, etc. The WSJ article describes the letter and this matches the description, but this is a recreation based on the description. What OP is asking for is why can’t they find a scan of the actual letter and the reason is because it hasn’t been published.
To provide additional context about “artist interpretation”, this is from the WSJ archive link:
The letter bearing Trump’s name, which was reviewed by the Journal, is bawdy—like others in the album. It contains several lines of typewritten text framed by the outline of a naked woman, which appears to be hand-drawn with a heavy marker. A pair of small arcs denotes the woman’s breasts, and the future president’s signature is a squiggly “Donald” below her waist, mimicking pubic hair.

Do we have any direct confirmation that this is the letter and not one of the recreations that has been floating around?
