“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 from Dr. George Porter to Louis Weichmann, dated 15 March 1901. Porter was present at John Wilkes Booth's burial. He writes to Louis Weichmann, chief prosecution witness at the conspirators' trial, that, ''…Booth's body…in 1869…was given to the Rector of a church…in Baltimore…[signed] Geo L. Porter''. Weichmann wrote to people involved in the events while writing his book on the assassination. Minor soiling to folds of 5.25'' x 8'' card style four page letter, else very good.
