Henry Safford letter & Lincoln bandage
A letter from Henry Safford written a month after the assassination was just sold at auction today. It included part of a bandage used to treat Lincoln. Safford was one of the residents of Petersen House and he was the person who beckoned the men carrying Lincoln to come to Petersen House after they left the theater.

I hope this letter and relic have a good provenance.
