Above the date and signature is the following order in Lincoln's hand: "<I>Let this man take the oath of Dec. 8, 1863 and be discharged</B></I>." Light marginal soiling, else fine condition. With PSA/DNA Letter of Authenticity. This endorsement no doubt was in relation to a Confederate prisoner. In order to help undermine the Confederate war effort, on December 8, 1863 Lincoln proclaimed amnesty to those Confederates willing to sign an oath of allegiance to the United States.<BR><BR><b>Shipping:</b> Small Flat (<a target="_blank" href="http://www.heritageauctions.com/common/shipping.php">view shipping information</a>)
