Letter to Browne & Manzanares: Ordering supplies. Signed Luz B. Maxwell (Mother) per P. Maxwell. Billy the Kid was at Pete Maxwell's ranch when Garret rode up and entered Maxwell's bedroom. 'Where is Bill?” Maxwell said he was near by. At that moment a stranger entered the room. Garret must have some how recognized him, for he pulled his gun & fired in the dark. Maxwell ran from the room, Garret had already reached the porch. Maxwell walked down the porch to his mother's room & returned with a candle, put the candle on the windowsill & they peered in. We saw the man stretched out - it was Billy. 5”x 8”. <BR><BR><B>Condition: </B></I>Very fine.<BR><BR><b>Shipping:</b> Flat Material, Small (<a target="_blank" href="http://www.heritageauctions.com/common/shipping.php">view shipping information</a>)
