Civil War-dated ANS as president signed “A. Lincoln,” on an off-white sheet folded to 3 x 5, December 28, 1861. In full: “Mr. Padleford thinks there is a vacant messengership in the War Department, & if so, I would be pleased for him to have it.” In fine condition, with mild overall toning, light soiling to the upper left, a horizontal fold below all writing, and a pencil notation and light soiling to the lower panel. After his election, Lincoln was overwhelmed by requests for patronage, many of which he gave in to—this being one of them.
