Souvenir typescript of Dr. Zedlitz’s recollection of the events of November 22 at Parkland Hospital, three pages, 8.5 x 11, initialed at the bottom of the first two pages and signed at the conclusion in black ballpoint, “William H. Zedlitz, M. D.” In part: “A page came in on the overhead speaker asking for Dr. Shires to go to the emergency room ‘STAT’…no one pages him to go anywhere, and since I knew Dr. Shires was not in town at that time, I decided to go down to the ER to see what the urgency was…In the center of the trauma room and lying on the gurney unclothed, was a large man. At that moment I recognized President John F. Kennedy as the man…I was trying to assess the situation and as far as I could tell, the patient had a massive head injury to the posterior and right occipital-parietal area of his head…the crew was doing all it could to save him but the head injury was so severe I felt that he had very little chance of survival.” Also includes a TLS transmitting the typescript, one page, 8.5 x 11, personal letterhead, March 2, 2007. In overall fine condition.
