Description
[Assassination Attempt] William H. Seward Two Telegram Transmission Copies sent from Washington, D.C., by William H. Seward Jr. to his wife in Auburn, N.Y. Reporting on the condition of his father and brother Frederick; each about onepage, 5" x 7.5", with telegrapher's stamps and dockets. One, 25 April 1865, states "Both much improved this morning"; the other, 30 April 1865, states "Frederick passed a restless night but is . . . regaining strength. He remains entirely conscious. As yet there is no indication of a return of the bleeding although it may occur at any moment and prove fatal if not controlled. Father's jaw has been set and he is comfortable." Both have a slight separation at the bottom of the middle vertical fold; each has a hole in the top left corner. Fine.Auction Info
