LINCOLN, ROBERT T.
(1843- 1926) American lawyer and son of Abraham Lincoln, served with Grant and was Secretary of War. A.L.S. ""Robert T. Lincoln"" 3pp. 8vo., Washington, June 16, 1881, on War Department letterhead to Gen. William Franklin. In full: ""I have your letter of June 13th respecting the President and myself being present at the meeting of the Board of Managers of the National Soldiers' Home in Boston on the 6th of July. Upon consultation with the President I find that he already made engagements in New England which would prevent him from being present on that date, and it would not be worth while to change the meeting as suggested by you. It may be that affairs will so turn that I can be present, but as yet I cannot determine"". A great letter concerning Garfield's itinerary just weeks before being mortally wounded by a assassin. Minor fold separations, else very good.
