"WINNERS WILL BE NOTIFIED AFTER THE AUCTION ENDS BY THE AUCTIONEER ONCE ALL BIDS HAVE BEEN PROCESSED TO DETERMINE THE WINNER FOR EACH LOT."
Slavery document signed ''Benjamin'' by Judah B. Benjamin, who would serve as the Confederate States Secretary of State, War and Attorney General at various times. Document reads, ''…It is admitted that at and before and since the sale of the slaves by Mrs. Lefebre to her son, they have lived together and that the slaves were her domestic servants…'' No date or place, though presumably while he was a lawyer before the Civil War. 7.75'' x 10.75''. Minor bleed-through, not affecting the signature. Overall very good.
