ALS signed “Wm. T. Clark,” four pages on two adjoining sheets, 5.25 x 8, personal letterhead, April 22, 1865. Letter to his “Grandma,” shortly after the assassination of Abraham Lincoln. In part: “There was a great procession here on Wednesday, the funeral of the President, it was very large indeed the largest I heard that ever paraded in Newark; I only saw part of it however…The body of the President is to be in New York on Monday and I would like very much to go and see him for I never saw him when alive, but I think there will be such a crowd that one would get crushed to death almost just as it was at the Duke of Wellington’s funeral in London…Mr. Geo. A Keen has gone to Richmond and if he want to get home right away I fear will have some difficulty because they are so fearful the murderer of the late President may escape. They are omitting no pains in order to capture him and I am sure I hope they will for if any one ever deserved to forfeit his life he does.” In fine condition, with a uniform shade of mild toning and light show-through from writing on reverse.
