Two souvenir typescripts of Brandt’s experience as a witness of the assassination, each one page, 8.5 x 11, signed at the conclusion in black ballpoint, “Ernest C. Brandt.” In part: “On top of the underpass, I saw a man on a cement pedestel at the south end of Pergola adjusting a camera. I turned to my client, John, and said ‘Now there’s a guy who is going to get some good pictures of the motorcade.’ At that time, I did not know the man’s identity, but it turned out to be Abraham Zapruder…JFK’s convertible began to approach us…When he reached a position slightly past me, I heard a very loud noise…I could tell it was a gunshot. Naturally, I was frightened…I quickly ran, finding some refuge behind a tree…My client had remained there during the entire episode. He told me he watched as the third shot hit JFK’s head.” Also includes an ALS from Brandt, one page, 8.5 x 11, personal letterhead, December 4, 2003. In part: “The president’s condition following the shots. It is true I did not know, but John told me he saw JFK’s head EXPLODE & ‘his hair stood on end’!!! So John figured that JFK had been mortally wounded.” In overall fine condition. RR Auction COA.
