LINCOLN, ABRAHAM
(1809 - 1865) Sixteenth President of the United States who led the Union through the Civil War and emancipated the slaves, assassinated. Fine association A.D.S. removed from a letter, 1p. oblong 12mo., [early Spring, 1862], in full: ""Respectfully submitted for consideration of Gen. McClellan. A. Lincoln"". On the verso appears the signature of Gen. LEW WALLACE: ""Lew Wallace Brig'r General"". The combination of Lincoln writing McClelland and Lew Wallace as a brigadier general dates this endorsement Spring, 1862, at about the time of Shiloh. Very good, suitable for framing.
