Each individual word was carefully removed from an original handwritten letter from Burr declining a legal case. Don't miss this exceptional chance to own an authentic piece of penmanship from the hand of Hamilton’s murderer.
You will not receive a copy of the letter from Burr, the 4th image is shown purely to illustrate where the words came from. You will only receive the BAS encapsulated handwriting, encapsulate #00017195833. The slab measures 3.25 inches by 5 inches.
Each encapsulated word was individually removed from an undated letter from Burr to G.W. Lathrop in New York. In part, “The course of business at this circuit will undoubtedly station me here...It will therefore be wholly out of my power to attend to the cause of Sarah Post at Poughkeepsie, where the circuit will commence on Monday with Yates—having Platt to take his leisure (which he does) to finish here...I recommend very strongly that you go up personally.”
Genuine Burr documents can sell for thousands of dollars. The cost of authenticating a
single word of Burr's handwriting is $100 on Beckett's website.
