(1809 - 1865) Sixteenth President of the United States who led the Union through the Civil War and emancipated the slaves, assassinated. A.D.S. "Lincoln & Herndon" as Springfield attorney, 1p. oblong 8vo., [n.p., n.d.], in part: "…The plaintiffs are notified that in the trial the defendant will prove that the note [?] when made, was, by mistake, made too large by one hundred and twenty dollars. Also that plaintiffs have received of defendants certain drafts, and the proceeds thereof, to a large amount, to wit, the amount of twelve hundred and fifty dollars, in such way as to be payment or set off in this case…" Brief marginal tear just grazes one letter of text, else near fine. Extravagantly matted with an engraving, set into a wood frame.
