Lincoln Assassination Letter
“Winners will be notified after the auction ends and once all bids have been processed to determine the winner for each lot”
Lincoln's Secretary of State William H. Seward's son signs a typed letter discussing the aftermath of the assassination plot. Dated 19 August 1901, William H. Seward Jr. informs chief conspiracy prosecution witness Louis Weichmann of his family members' wellbeing since the tragedy, writing, ''…Our oldest brother…was also…wounded by Payne the assassin. He died Sept. 11th, 1876…'' Measures 8.5'' x 11''. A correction in black pen by an unknown hand covers a typo. Toning, a paper clip dent and a small tear to the top edge, else near fine.
