In one envelope Gilcrease found forty-eight letters from Col. F.W. Benteen to Theodore Goldin. Identified as having an insurance value of $1000 it was accompanied by a handwritten instruction from the movers that stated, "At safe deposit vault in New York, not in house, we are not to handle." The sort of find we can only dream about! |
