Warren Buffett Partnership Letters

Jun 26th, 2007 by Martin Lee

I have just managed to get hold of scanned copies of the original Warren Buffett partnership letters. These are NOT the Berkshire letters that you can download freely from the internet. Instead, these private letters written by Warren Buffett were sent to his Buffett Partnership, Limited investors from 1959 to 1969.

If you had read Buffett’s Berkshire Hathaway letters, you will know that Warren provides a lot of his investment insights in his letters. These partnership letters will provide you with an idea of Warren Buffett’s thinking in his early days and it is a must read for all value investors.

I will be putting up summaries of those letters once I have completed the Berkshire annual letter summaries, so it is going to take a while.

If you can’t bear to wait and want to get your hand on the partnership letters first, just leave a comment here and I will gladly send them to you.

I’m not posting the download links here directly as I understand that Warren does not want the letters circulated on a public forum.

Note: You do NOT need to specify your email address in the actual comment as I will be able to get it from what you type in under “Mail (hidden) (required)“.

Thanks so much for sharing. Could I also have a copy of the letters?
Do you have the one sent as the partnership was dissolved in which Buffet writes a VERY long essay on how to invest in municipal bonds? I seem to remember he thought the market was overvalued, and suggested his partners invest in municipal bonds for a while.

Thanks!

Hi,
I am trying to e- mail Warren Buffett . I understand he helps the needed.
This is my story: My only son was murderd and my local homecide divsion messed up the investagation ,therefore they ask me to file a wrongful death law suit against the suspects. I did , I have totally
exhausted my savings into this law suit. I am asking if you can pass this on to MR. warren buffett plese. I do need financial help for this case. I do have a home with $45.000.00 equity but with the recent problems with the lending institutions I can’t seem to refi or get a second on my home . Please I need to complete this suit as to convict
these people who killed my son ,so Jason can rest in peace Yesterday
was son’s 27th birthday.
I have a attorney, private investagator also we are in the process
of picking our expert wittness ( DR Henry Lee or DR Michael Boddden)
But I am out of funds . This is a very high profile case, it has not been publicized because of the wrongful death law suit. We have to actually
build the case for homicide. Please respond.
Thank You ,Sincercely.
