“Winners will be notified after the auction ends and once all bids have been processed to determine the winner for each lot”
Lincoln assassination letter, dated 12 August 1900, from Dr. George Porter to Louis Weichmann, chief prosecution witness at the conspirators' trial. Porter, medical doctor for the imprisoned conspirators, was present at their execution as well as at John Wilkes Booth's burial. He corroborates for Weichmann, who was writing a book on the assassination, events and facts such as, ''…You were right in your statement that Mrs. Surratt did not take the whiskey to Lloyds…'' Minor creasing to 8.25'' x 11'' three page letter, else very good.
