"WINNERS WILL BE NOTIFIED AFTER THE AUCTION ENDS BY THE AUCTIONEER ONCE ALL BIDS HAVE BEEN PROCESSED TO DETERMINE THE WINNER FOR EACH LOT."
Typed letter signed by Manhattan Project Director Norris Bradbury, who encloses the signatures of the ''five scientists associated with the Atomic Bomb Project.'' On a separate sheet are the promised signatures, written boldly by all: ''J.R. Oppenheimer'', ''Samuel K. Allison'', ''E. Fermi'', ''N.E. Bradbury'' and ''G.B. Kistiakowsky''. Letter dated 2 November 1945 is on official ''P.O. Box 1663 / Santa Fe, New Mexico'' stationery, the secret P.O. Box address used for the project whose physical location was undisclosed. Also includes original mailing envelope postmarked 7 November 1945. Document, measuring 8.5'' x 11'' has some folding from mailing, else near fine.
