Nicely preserved as contents of a 10.5x8" Mead notebook with some pages removed from the front and signed at the end by Bulger, who numbered each page. This was given to fellow inmate and friend "Chip" who also consigned nearly 30 handwritten letters from Bulger in this auction. Tremendous content relates to Alcatraz inmate Carnes, who was part of the "Battle of Alcatraz" escape attempt from the famed prison.

Notebook and contents remain in Excellent condition. Comes with PSA LOA.
