Letter dated 28 June 2001, signed by JS Craig, states in summary: In 1985, he attended an estate sale in Ft Wort, Texas and purchased the above items. After purchase he realized the tin was inscribed with, "Harry Longbaugh - 7 7 1899". He paid $45 for the watch, chain and photo, which he in turn sold them for an undisclosed amount to prominent collector Michael Nelson of Marion Kentucky. He signs and swears it to be truth on his Masonic oath and notarized the signature. Harry Longbaugh and his girlfriend, aka "The Sundance Kid" and "Etta" along with the gang spent time in Ft. Worth, Texas and were known to have been photographed in that famous frontier town. From a prominent old west collection.
