Description
Harold Weisberg, by the evidence of his files, wrote this letter to a Robert whose surname is illegible. Its subject nettled him for decades: the commercialization and exploitation of the Kennedy assassination.
Weisberg published his own books at a loss and watched others turn the case into documentaries, tours, and souvenirs. His letters return to the charge that money had corrupted the research and cheapened the dead. This one is preserved among his papers as part of that long argument about what the case was for: evidence, in his view, and not entertainment.
