Donald Trump casino was ‘worst punishment' God could devise, letters say

This particular letter is part of some 29 correspondences written and signed by the late Harper Lee, which are being auctioned off in separate lots by Nate D. Sanders Auctions in Los Angeles this week.

Famous for her literary classic "To Kill a Mockingbird", Harper Lee passed away at the age of 89 this February, less than a year after the release of her other novel "Go Set a Watchman," which also tackles the topic of racial injustice.

The novelist wrote the letter describing the Trump-owned casino just months after it opened in Atlantic City. The Taj Mahal property, according to reports from The New York Times, underwent a pre-packaged bankruptcy in summer 1991, before emerging from bankruptcy later that year.

The bidding for each of Lee's letters starts at $750 each, with the auctions ending on March 31, according to the auction site.
