Public outcry has led an Atlantic City, N.J., man to remove a bag of letters to God he found on the beach from the online eBay auction Web site.
Bill Lacovara said bidding had reached $550, but outrage was higher that he would auction intimate documents written as long ago as 1973, the Newark (N.J.) Star-Ledger reported Tuesday.
While about half of the 300 mostly unopened prayer letters are illegible because of their time in the water, Lacovara said he thought there would be public interest in them. There was among about 25 bidders, but there was more anger, so he withdrew them, and said he will give them to the daughter of the deceased Baptist minister who had collected them.
