A reader cc'd me on his letter:Mr. Rather.
I have followed with interest your interest in historical documents, and wish to offer the following items for your consideration. They are available at a reasonable price to be negotiated later.

2. A 1973 Excel Spreadsheet of Nixon's Enemies List.
3. John F. Kennedy's Viagra prescription from 1960.
4. Franklin Roosevelt's Segway.
5. A polaroid photograph from 1919 of Karl Marx playing Ms Pac-Man with Gertrude Stein.
6. Stonewall Jackson's rollerblades.
7. Abraham Lincoln's weblog. (Including his Flame War with Stephen Douglas. Truly, a historical treasure.)
8. Thomas Jefferson's Outlook calendar. (Entry for April 5, 1795: "Booty Call with Sally H.")

10. Guttenberg's first LaserPrinter.
