Evelyn Lincoln signed letter about JFK assassination - explosive content!
I say good for her. Upon the approachment of the 50th anniversary of the assassination, for whatever reason, the national media seemed hell-bent on still cramming down our throats the lame Lee Harvey Oswald-acted-alone crap, maybe still due to pressure from the government, even though 2/3 of Americans believe it was a conspiracy.
Yet this is the first time that I have seen someone so close to the situation state in signed documentation that they thought it was a conspiracy. Not even Clint Hill or much less a member of the Kennedy family - even though apparently many members of the family had the same thoughts as Mrs. Lincoln. Her conclusions, through a lot of study, are the same as the ones I have reached.
I had never seen this letter before. I thought some members of this site might be interested, so here is a link to the auction for the letter, as well as some pics:

+2. I wonder who she was writing to and how the seller got hold of it as he doesn't deal with historical stuff.

I wish I did know whom she was writing to. That info could add even more interest in the letter. I haven't asked the seller where he got it, but I may. It would be a great piece to have IMO, but not for $7K! Although it does have historical value for sure.

Its worth a little more than $200 IMO , - but as you say 7K nuts!!! I think the name of the person to whom she is writing has been blocked off by our intrepid ebay seller so I still think that might be something interesting to find out which may indeed push the price up

I could be wrong, but my guess is it was a standard response letter for anyone who wrote and asked for her recollection. The letter is completely impersonal, so I doubt it was to a friend or someone of note.
Not a subject I have followed, but my sense is there are more of these in circulation.

Maybe we should looking at another line of enquiry or thought. I mean, if I was in the tunnel when Diana died, I would hardly be writing a similar kind of letter with my home telephone number and my current address on it in case I received a visit from M15 etc...She appears remarkably laissez faire about writing such a letter .

It is a great letter, even if hyperbolic and not accurate. LBJ, Hoover, the mafia, the CIA, the FBI all working together?!?! All these people were involved and not one person has come forward with a smoking gun? Oliver Stone's movie - while great entertainment - is wildly inaccurate and full of half truths and distortions. It's pure propaganda.
I used to believe in the conspiracies myself. No more. I suggest you read Gerald Posner's Case Closed.

Thank you for the post, Steve. I am in the same boat you are. I believed the conspiracy hype for a long time but after actually examining the facts and not just innuendos, loose connections and fuzzy theories, it became clear the evidence shows Oswald was the lone assassin.
Lincoln disliked Lyndon Johnson and her intuition told her he was involved. No proof, just intuition.

Yup.
Posner's book is interesting because it completely debunks the myths we've been led to believe over the years with well researched facts, but it also discusses the sociological and psychological reasons why people WANT to believe it was some sort of conspiracy. The same thinking can be applied to more recent conspiracy theories, which are just as fantasy based... Moon landing hoax, government planned 9/11, etc.

Moreover, ballistic tests showed that Oswald DID NOT fire a gun that day.

In reality, Gerald Posner and his family had close ties to the CIA. I believe Posner has admitted as much. I think he has been a tool for them. There is actually OVERWHELMING evidence of a conspiracy. For starters, I would suggest reading about "E. Howard Hunt vs. The Liberty Lobby, Inc.". The CIA's role in the assassination — On Aug. 16, 1978, Liberty Lobby Inc. published an article by former CIA officer Victor Marchetti in its magazine, The Spotlight. In that article, Marchetti stated that E. Howard Hunt, also a former CIA officer, was involved in the JFK assassination. Hunt sued Liberty Lobby for libel in federal district court and won. However, in the appeals trial, former CIA agent Marita Lorenz testified that on Nov. 21, 1963, the day before the assassination, E. Howard Hunt was in Dallas, where he delivered "sums of money for the so-called operation" to a small group of men that included former CIA agent Frank Sturgis of Watergate fame and Oswald killer Jack Ruby. The federal jury found for Liberty Lobby Inc. and awarded costs to be assessed against Hunt.
In that trial, in federal court, former CIA agent Marita Lorenz also testified that after refusing to go along with a planned operation of some sorts in Dallas (she said that she did not know exactly what was being planned and did not like the smell of it) she left and headed back to Miami. A couple of days later, after CIA agent Frank Sturgis returned to Miami, former CIA agent Marita Lorenz testified in federal court that CIA agent Frank Sturgis told her, "You should have been with us. We made history. We killed the President (John F. Kennedy)." She said this under oath.
Furthermore, in the same federal court, FORMER CIA DIRECTOR RICHARD HELMS testified that former CIA agent E. Howard Hunt participated in the assassination of President Kennedy. Apparently, rather than implicating the entire agency, Helms decided to throw Hunt under the bus.
But the fact is that in FEDERAL COURT, FORMER CIA OFFICIALS TESTIFIED ABOUT CIA INVOLVEMENT IN JFK's ASSASSINATION.
Furthermore, I would suggest reading, "Blood, Money, & Power: How LBJ Killed JFK" by Barr McClelland, a former Texas attorney who is the father of former White House Press Secretary Scott McClelland under President George W. Bush.
LBJ was a brutal man whom President Nixon called an "animal". LBJ was up to his eyeballs in legal trouble at the time of the assassination. And the assassination solved many problems for him.
