Partly-printed DS as president, one page, 14.75 x 18, March 6, 1865. Lincoln appoints a paymaster. In part: “Know Ye, That reposing special trust and confidence in the patriotism, valor, fidelity, and abilities of Arthur J. Tritehard, I have nominated, and by and with the advice and consent of the Senate, do appoint him Assistant Paymaster in the Navy.” Signed at the conclusion by Lincoln, and countersigned by the secretary of the navy. Document has been double-matted with a bust image of Lincoln and information placard and framed to an overall size of 32 x 27. In fine condition, with intersecting folds, light toning, and areas of soiling, most notably along the central vertical fold and near the bottom of the document. The light green wafer seal is worn but intact. This magnificent document was signed just a month before the president’s assassination. Oversized.
