War-dated partly-printed DS as president, one page, 7.75 x 9.75, July 9, 1863. An order requesting more troops from the state of Maine. In part: “I Abraham Lincoln, President of the United States of America, and Commander-in-chief of the Army and Navy thereof, having taken into consideration the number of volunteers and militia furnished by and from the several States, including the State of Maine, and the period of service of said volunteers and militia since the commencements of the present rebellion, in order to equalize the numbers among the Districts of the said States, and having considered and allowed for the number already furnished as aforesaid, and the time of their service aforesaid, do hereby assign Two Thousand Four Hundred and Fifty-eight as the first proportional part of the quota of troops to be furnished by the 1st District of the Maine under this, the first call made by me on the State of Maine, under the act approved March 3, 1863, entitled 'An Act for Enrolling and Calling out the National Forces, and for other purposes,' and, in pursuance of the act aforesaid, I order that a draft be made in the said First District of the State of Maine for the number of men herein assigned to said District, and Fifty Percent in addition. In witness whereof, I have hereunto set my hand and caused the seal of the United States to be affixed.” In very good to fine condition, with a light overall block of toning over text and signature from previous display, a bit heavier toning to edges, and a few scattered light creases. Maine soldiers served courageously at Gettysburg, most notably Joshua Chamberlain and the 20th Maine Infantry, which held the line at Little Round Top, making a Union victory possible, and changing the tide of the war.
