Letter dated 20 June 1898 from Almarin C. Richards, Washington D.C. Police Superintendent and attendee at Ford's Theatre the night of Lincoln's killing. Richards writes to Louis Weichmann -- whose controversial testimony was the key evidence in convicting assassination conspirator Mary Surratt -- regarding Weichmann's book about the assassination. In part, ''...you unfold the scheme of consummation of the plot for assassinating the chief officer of our government as well as the pursuit, capture and punishment of the chief operators in the tragedy...as to the inception, progress and outcome of this nefarious attempt to wreck our government...this supreme crime of the age...'' Letter measures 8'' x 10''. Some tearing at the folds and toning, else very good condition.
