Well. many of them have just reappeared! I first became of Mr. Dow as a collector around 2007 when reading AB. According to Mike Kauffman, Pg 456 Notes #18, Donald P. Dow owned the O’Beirne diary obtained from the Otto Eisinschiml papers. I love this stuff! Thanks Dave for the heads up!

The O'Beirne diary is one of the auction items, isn't it?

Yes, it's one of the items. Perhaps it contains the key to verifying his time spent at Lincoln's deathbed! (discussed on the forum last year).

I've so enjoyed looking at the auction inventory and reading up on the history of these amazing Lincoln items. Then I fantasize about bidding.
Anyone want to go 50/50?
