The legendary sheriff who gunned down Billy the Kid signed this typed letter regarding a
transfer of money
Typed Letter Signed: "P. F. Garrett, Sheriff". 8½x6¼. Dated August 16, 1900. One page. In
Full: "For value received, I hereby transfer…to Mr. S. Spitz of Santa Fe New Mexico, my
account against the Territory of New Mexico for Fifty Dollars…for Requisition issued by the
Governor of the Territory of New Mexico." Accompanied by a mailing envelope addressed to
Garrett. Patrick Garrett (1850-1908) lived a fairly long life despite his proclivity for
gunfights and maintaining the law. After being elected to Sheriff in Lincoln County, New
Mexico in November of 1880, Garrett engaged in a nine-month chase to hunt down Billy the
Kid, even crossing county lines. He shot and killed the criminal on July 15, 1881. Garrett
published a book about Billy the Kid and his unlawful lifestyle, making him out to be a
ruffian. Other sources mythicized Billy the Kid, and this latter point-of-view generally won
the day despite Garrett's best efforts. Following this lawful murder, Garrett became a Texas
Ranger and continued to engage in law enforcement activities until 1901, when he was
appointed the Collector of Customs in El Paso.

Wyatt Earp's death. "I am still worrying for my dear husband. I miss him so much."

respond to your nice letter. I wanted to wait and see if I could be in Los Angeles in the next ten
days but it seems now like I will not be able to get away until about the fifth, or six of Oct. and I
know you cannot wait until then. I thank you very much for offering to wait a few days until I
could get there. I will see you when I come to Vidal. I have many things that I must attend to
before I go to the desert. I hope you are right to the gross or net but different attorneys have told
me that you are wrong - we will have to wait and see. That is all that can be done. I am glad you
have had a nice vacation and also to know Jarvis is going to make a sale. And I hope you will too.
I am feeling much better but I still have a cold. My folks are living on Alexandria Street, but I
don't know the number. I think I have the name spelled wrong. There may be such a thing as my
leaving here by next Tuesday - but I am not sure.…"34x35½ buckskin, signed by an impressive collection of Western artists in the 1970s,

Elegant studio photo in high-necked embroidered blouse inscribed on the original mount

Oakley/1908". Sepia, 3½x5 oval image on a 6x8 mount. Signed in fountain pen on the

Oakley (1860-1926) was born Phoebe Anne Oakley Mozee in Ohio. She was the sixth of
eight children. At the age of nine she began to shoot rabbits and quail and was almost a dead
shot from the first. Within five years, she was a breadwinner for her family as a
markswoman. In 1876, at age 16, she married Frank Butler, a vaudeville performer who
became her partner. Annie's self-effacing personality (on and off stage) made her a popular
performer. In 1885, the Butlers joined Buffalo Bill Cody's Wild West Show. Annie, a star
with the show for 17 years, charmed Kings and Queens. In 1901, she was severely injured
in a railroad wreck that temporarily paralyzed her. But she made a sensational comeback in the
next two decades. She and Butler were childless, but she supported 18 orphan girls. Fine
