Details:

James Files autographed two-page handwritten letter (ALS), written from prison, accompanied by the original mailing envelope and a candid 6 x 4” photograph signed on the verso by Files. The letter is written across two separate sheets in dark ink and addressed to collector Jeremy Bacon, dated March 19, 2015. Files discusses his incarceration, personal history, and reflections on his past, offering a rare firsthand written record from a controversial figure associated with JFK assassination conspiracy narratives.

The lot includes the original prison mailing envelope bearing Files’ inmate identification details and institutional markings. Also included is a candid snapshot depicting two unidentified men, signed on the verso by Files with a personal inscription referencing the recipient and date.

Fine condition.

James Files (b. 1942) is a convicted felon who later claimed involvement in the assassination of President John F. Kennedy, asserting that he fired a fatal shot from the grassy knoll. His claims—widely disputed by historians and rejected by official investigations—have nonetheless made him a recurring figure in assassination literature, documentaries, and conspiracy research. Autograph material from Files is scarce and remains highly sought after within specialized JFK assassination collections due to his enduring notoriety and the firsthand nature of his written accounts.
