Thanks, Ralf<br \/>\nA:\tYes Ralf- Our clients is willing to provide the following in writing: To whom it may concern: I recently purchased 6 books that had belonged to Lizzie Borden from a local woman who is personally known to me. She is the daughter of a man who was Ms. Borden\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s chauffeur in her later years. As the books were given to the chauffeur by Ms. Borden during her lifetime, they are not technically part of her estate. My acquaintance knew Ms. Borden as a child. The inscribed book is self-explanatory as to provenance, and the ones initialed \u00e2\u20ac\u02dcL.A.B.\u00e2\u20ac\u2122 were done in Ms. Borden\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s hand, according to my acquaintance. The books with the \u00e2\u20ac\u0153Maplecroft\u00e2\u20ac\u009d sticker on the endpaper also speak for themselves, as Maplecroft is known to be Ms. Borden\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s estate as a matter of public record. We will provide a signed letter as requested to the winner<\/p><\/blockquote>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The story gets better on the Lizzie signed book mentioned below and in this sale on eBay.
